Shared Dreaming - How to find other people when lucid!
The Essence technique
The main way to find real people when you are lucid involves changing dreams at will. Different people have different methods for this. Naiya uses a TARDIS, Raven Knight opens portals with music, and I voice my intent to change dreams.
I once found a white Owl while Lucid. I had a feeling it had to do with someone i knew. I voiced my intent to follow it and It led me to one of the most vivid lucid dreams I have ever had.
If both people are intending to dream together they might wind up in the same dream spontaneously!
Once you are lucid: Use your feeling of the person. Everyone in dreaming has a unique energy signature you can recognise them by. It is a subtle feeling of simply knowing THAT person IS that PERSON, no matter how they may appear to you.
Once you have this feeling of the person. Focus that feeling to change dreams and the dream you wind up in will be that persons.
ex from me and Raven knight.
My dream: Dream 4: I was playing a Sonic the Hedgehog video game. And i discovered a glitch. I thought it was cool so i ran out of the house and found Mark75 to tell him about it.
for some reason I got mark to follow me to show him the glitch. But when we arrived Raven Knight had taken his place. She followed me into my house and we were talking a little bit. Her face was hidden behind some sort of white hood. she stopped me and said that i should look at her. She pulled the hood away and revealed her face. I was staring at a child like face that seemed young. but all her hair was white or grey. It was kind of strange. She asked what i had thought... I just said it was nice to finally get to see her.
Her dream:
I focused on using Through the Never to open a portal to find R. A portal opened. Nomad and I went through the portal. On the other side we were in a neighborhood. We were just outside a house. There was a man there. He went over to Nomad. He told Nomad that there was something he needed to show him. I wondered if that was R and he was already lucid. Nomad and I both followed R into the house. He went over to his computer, which was doing something strange. R turned towards me now and looked a bit surprised.
"Raven?" he asked, "I thought you were Mark."
"Who?" I asked. Had he thought Nomad was someone named Mark? Apparently he recognized me, though.
"Can I see your face?" R asked. I realized I was dressed as an Assassin from Assassin's Creed. I pulled my hood away from my face so he could see it more clearly. He stared at me for a bit. I asked him what he saw. I wondered if he saw me the way I picture myself or if he had a different image. He stared a bit more and then disappeared. I pulled a Homer "D'Oh!" at the fact he had disappeared. I turned towards Nomad. He was also gone. I pulled a double Homer. ("D'Oh, D'Oh!") Now I felt like I was about to wake up. I barely got off my triple Homer ("D'Oh, D'Oh, D'Oh!") before I woke up.
You can also use a variation on the meeting place. Once you are lucid. Change dreams and go to the meeting place.
Another VERY Important thing: Guides!
Extra dimensional Entities, spirits of the deceased, Totem animals, and Higher (lighter) Density beings... Some are good, some are Evil. So pick your guides wisely. Some have been with your entire life and are simply waiting for you to acknowledge that they are there. Some you can find using the Above Essence technique. getting a few of them is handy, each one has something unique to offer. They serve as a voice in dreams and also a voice in your thoughts in waking life.
Sometimes All i need to do before bed is to pick a person or a subject to dream about. I do this by briefly thinking it, or writing it down. Then the next night or in a few days I WILL have a dream about that person or subject which I selected. often when this happens, in my dream, my guide will be right beside me. This works lucid or not!
If you can find Nick Newport his 103 might help
Dear lucidsoma
Nick Newport made the free Lucidology 101 then the $35 Lucidology 102.
His Lucidology 103 talks about using the Lucid dreaming skills, (from 101 and 102) to find your Oversoul and contact the other incarnations your oversoul has on the Earth NOW and since timeisnotlinia he encourages Lucid Dreamers to get to know all your Oversouls incarnation through all time on Earth.
Sounds like you found one of your Oversouls incarnations who is alive NOW. It is said that the connection between these incarnations is closer than family and friends because all those incarnations are like extensions of that Oversoul who is learning so much through, say, you and the ghost-like friend you met when you were 16.
Just my thoughts, lucidsoma.

I grew up in a haunted farmhouse in Canada, people saw ghosts all the time there. When I was 14, I saw a ghost for the first time. There was a blueish glow in the room like if I was wearing blue tinted glasses. Anyway he looked at me and I felt like I 'knew' him, and we could communicate our emotions as opposed to telepathy. I'm sure this person was NOT connected to the house, he was wearing modern clothes and I got the sense he was African-American, and I knew the history of the house somewhat.
Anyway I can't remember if it started before this or after but I've been having dreams about this guy for almost 15 years now (just turned 29). When I was 16 I kept dreaming about going to the south, like Mississippi, and I ended up moving to New Orleans for 3 years. This is how much these dreams are affecting my life! Felt like he was down there somewhere and strangely I felt very 'at home' in the south. I thought he was a ghost at first but now I think this guy is alive somewhere and knows how to astral travel, or psychic or something. Anyway I feel a connection with him even stronger than with my family (and I'm very close with my family). Theres many reasons I think he's alive, like sometimes I just see his life in my dreams, or once we said we loved each other, and I asked him if we can meet in the afterlife; he looked sad and said 'I don't know..I don't know where I'm going after I die'.
About 80% of the time I go lucid I search for him (even when I'm not lucid). But I feel like there's a 'block' like someone will be holding me down so I can't go see him. In dreams he acts like we're breaking rules by seeing each other in dreams, not sure why? Been to psychics nobody can pick up on this, and was hypnotised to stop these dreams but it only worked for 4 months and they started again. Possibly going mad! Thoughts?
Does any one know where Nick Newpor is? I haven't heard from him in over a year.
I think I posted more about Oversouls but it might take a while for me to find.

Here is a link to the first thread I opened here on Dreamviews. Look at post number 5 because it is about Oversouls.

From July 2010 my OBE assignment Completed
I found more on the Oversoul. Two of my posts on another site, (IASD)
Saturday 19/July/2010
I had a similar "dream" to the one where you walked in on yourself O.
In his Lucidology 103 Nick "tries" to describe "Cosmic Jellyfish".*
To me, this is spectacularly advanced OBE/LD stuff ("Cosmic Jellyfish")*
I sometimes think that I am the only one who has a copy of the first 2 downloads of Nick Lucidology 103. I can't get anyone on Saltcube to talk to me about "Cosmic Jellyfish".*
I think what you just described about walking in on yourself is cosmic Jellyfish obe.
2nd post by me a little later on the thread called Lucid Dreams verses Out of Body experiances
The builder of Saltcube, Nicholas Newport (aka Matthew Jones) in Lucidology 103 said something like this (but my memory is not very reliable so please don't quote me):*
There are structures that resemble huge Jellyfish far above.*
I, me, Debra Jane am at the end of one of "my" jellyfish's tendrils. But "my" Jellyfish may have more than one tendril coming down from it's body (oversoul), to this planet, the Earth.*
He says a lot more than that.*
In an assignment he asks that the next time I see something resembling what he (and other intrepid "dreamers") described ... well ... he gave an assignment.*
Weeks later I had a very unusual dream. I don't know if I posted it on Saltcube. I had forgotten about Nick's assignment.*
Anyway*
I was me (female) but in a younger, prettier, more flexible and far more comfortable body than ... this one ...*
I seem to remember checking-in to a nice posh hotel, getting into bed and falling asleep.*
Next*
I was being woken by a man, (big handsome, polite, with a beard). I was in his hotel room and in his bed.*
I told him that I was given the room.*
Next*
The nice hotel manager was there apologizing to both of us and saying that he will take me to another room so I could sleep.*
I went over to a mirror with a tooth brush. It was my face in the mirror. I touched the bristles of the tooth brush to my upper-lip a few times and my face changed to that of the "big, handsome, polite, bearded man".*
Then the 3 of us left in search of a room for me.*
We walked into the bar of a nice Casino. I felt safe because I was a tall strong bearded man and I belonged here, I was at home here. End of dream.*
Well*
I think I completed Nick's assignment.*
I think I went to my "Oversoul" (Jellyfish) and met another of the "Oversoul's" present, incarnations, from this planet.*
I tell you, Nicholas Newport's Lucidology 103 is really something.*
Sorry, but*
SPRUIK, SPRUIK, SPRUIK.
