Thread: Can You Really Share Dreams

Well... How I believe Ed dreams work is every human (their spirit) is on the same plane and if I'm right (small chance though) you wouldn't need to see someone in RL to share a dream with them... Kind of far fetched but... Anythings possible right?

I shared dreams with nomad and raven before i knew what they looked like. The first time i tried shared dreaming I dreamed i saw a girls face on a tv screen. a few weeks later the girl sent me her pic and she looked exactly the same.

So, basically if I wanted to share a dream with someone on Dream Views that I've never seen, your thinking in my dream they will look how they actually look in real life?

Nomad didn't look in the dream like he did in waking life.There's no way to predict exactly what will match up. just try it with an open mind and see what happens.

Ok, I will have to try sharing one someday

MoSh looked like a green crystal-man when I first saw him. Then, he looked like a human. But, at first, a green crystal-man.

This was a great thread. This was one of the major subjects I was hoping to learn something about. Thanks to those who shared...dreams.

If you doubt it, and truly believe that its not possible, it most likely never will happen to you unless you have someone close to you to show you. Simple as that.
Shared dreaming are just the baby steps of whats out there.

So it seems. Waking Nomad's Dream Journal was full of incredible shit. I honestly had no idea. I thought I was crazy for the outrageous dreams I've had, or at least part of a small minority of people with an active dreaming life and a genuine and endless fascination for it. But I joined this forum a few days ago on a search for whether dreams are the kind of limited phenomena that is mentioned at the beginning of this thread, that is produced internally and limited to that one person's individual corporeal reality, or whether they may operate in a more Jungian collective unconscious conceptual framework. It's always been my belief that the Jungian concept finds it's truest expression (and the most convincing evidence of its existence) in the experience of dreams of an archetypal nature. he goes a long way to describing the similarities of Myths across cultures but his most compelling anecdotal evidence was a schizophrenic making reference to a very obscure and esoteric piece of mythology in one of his dreams. The other was the dream content of an uneducated, illiterate black man from the deep south who had never left his rural stomping grounds and could not, Jung argues, have had access to a certain image, that of someone being crucified on a wheel, apart from some other source that could be tapped in dreams.

I've normally just taken LD's as they came and haven't pursued them as an ends as it seems the people are so intent on within this forum, but I've been reading some of the technical data and the tips and methods and tried to have one last night. For shits and giggles I threw out the idea of having a mutual dream into my auto-suggestions before bed. I had a dream set across town at my dad's house. I was watching a sports event on TV and he came out of his room and tooled around in the kitchen while I was chit-chatting with him, he walked over to the couch near the TV and then his face was on the TV and he looked around quizzically like maybe there was a camera somewhere and then he looked at me and I said "we're in a dream." He said "what?" I said "we're in a dream." And then I said but my mouth didn't work very well at this point and it was hard to form the words, "maybe if you remember this, we can talk about it tomorrow." He was like "huh?" And with a lot of difficulty I repeated myself and at the end of my statement I was awake and heard myself saying the last couple of words in my sleep laying in bed.

I tried seeing if he remembered from his sleep a dream with me in it today when I went and spent some time with him and he didn't. I kind of tried to get him interested in the phenomenon to see if he would do an exercise to increase dream recall but he wasn't interested. Old dog, you know, he had other things to say about it, but I think he was at least moderately intrigued by the dream sequence. Now I have to work on maintaining these lucid dreams instead of letting them unravel like that one did.

I have tried to have a shared dream three times now and all three times its worked but there's one problem, I never remember them and the person i want to share a dream with will see me in the dream! The funny thing is i do it on a whim and i never told the people i was doing it with. There was one where i remembered but the person i was doing it with was not writing there dreams down and forgot, It was an activity dream where we were doing something this person does all the time but i did not know before hand ;(

The funny thing is it seems to work better when your not trying to do it but think it would be cool if you could.

I completely agree. This is how I first started doing it with someone I loved very dearly. It got the point where if they were sleeping, I could meditate and pretty much appear in her dream anytime. Often she would never remember what I physically tried to say to her, but little stuff like waking up with her phone opposite side of bed and stuff always happened :].
Its very hard to go into anything like this and only sit there thinking "Is it working? Am I really there? I wonder if she sees me now? Can she hear me?" ect. The biggest thing I've learned is never sit there and try to figure out how you should be doing something, just do it. Whichever way feels and flows natural to you.

Hi people,
i have a couple of questions. Im a bit confused
Last two nights i had weird for me dreams. I started my sleep session with the intent to meet a woman i love but in the dream i find myself with other woman(physically looking different). then somehow i thought about my woman and then the current one transforms into the one i wanted to meet ( the dreams transforms as well). Tonight i was looking at my hands in the dream and when i was doing that they were a bit vibrating but still were my hands.

The questions are: 1. did i really met this woman or just my mind invented it? 2. could it be a shared dream or what?

I cant ask her about her dreams cos now she is in vacation somewhere.
Sorry if you think my questions are stupid.

1. It's hard to tell.
2. It could be, but it's hard to tell from your description. You should find her in the dream again.

I see. I will try to find her again.

But for 2 nights i managed to find her. Tonight after i found her we went for a walk and there was a dog which was barking and she was afraid but i just gave my hand to the dog and it calmed down then she saw the dog is harmless. After that lots of more dogs came around and they all had fun running around a garden. Then i decided to see my hands and took a look at them that was the moment i was thinking 'ok i see them n now what?' but then we continued our walk on a very nicely orange colored path(which i realized i knew already) which lead to more colored place like a tunnel which lead us into a museum for locomotives(her father was driving one once upon a time) and she was telling me some stuffs about them. One of them was even working. After that i lost her. But in the early morning i found her again. We were drinking some alcohol around my block in Bulgaria and chatting about our relationship. Unfortunately it was coming the time to wake up and we had to separate. So i told her 'eee again the time to go arrived' we hugged and then i started to wake up.

Its weird story. in real life we only meet have some fun and happiness and then we go. still the time to be together for real hasnt come
Life is so. But we have to live it and see whats coming next

I think that once we reach the point at which dreams will be "shared," we won't be referring to them as dreams anymore. It will be a sort of "shared (or virtual) reality," so to speak, and I'd imagine it would be technologically-induced.

To answer the question, I do think it will become possible. Human technology is advancing at an exponential rate, and eventually we will reach a singularity at which point various things will become possible at an alarming rate (separate dimensions, immortality, shared dreams, you name it). This is discussed by Terrence McKenna in a lot of his lectures, and "the singularity" is also covered in the nonfiction book "The Age of Spiritual Machines." Read up.

I think shared dreaming sounds extremely interesting, and I would love to try it out! I remember once I was having a dream with my best friend and became lucid. I whispered into her ear "Guess what, you're dreaming!" but the next second I woke up, so I never figured out if she was a DC or my real friend. Is there any way to tell the difference?

OK. This is my current mission with a friend of mine who has great recall, but isn't a lucid dreamer.

I plan on doing something completely outrageous, so off the wall that he would never expect it. I'm having him report back to me anything strange that I may do in any of his dreams. If he tells me what I did in his dream, it would help me prove it.

However, you cannot say WHAT you are going to do, as they may dream it up without your presence. That's the problem.

If you have a friend with good recall, and you become lucid, I say try it and report your results. Make sure you find out if they had any dreams about you afterwards.

Next lucid dream, kiss her in the dream. That's my suggestion!

Shared dreaming is already a reality without machines, but machines will probably make it more accessible and easier to induce.

Yeah. DC's act a little moronic. It's like trying to have a conversation with a character on a TV show. Also, DC's will disappear if you ignore them.

You can say what you are going to do, in general, or make plans together, for example:

Let's meet, in a dream, on Mt. Rushmore, and I will give you a gift.

Then you both write down your dreams as specifically as you can without talking to each other about it first.

That will be easier than saying, "I am going to come in your dream, and do something."

You could always give a very obscure gift to make sure. Ask your friend to post their DJ online here.

Thanks for the help!

Well, you may have an army to stave off if you're going to be like that! The Jedi will assault!

Im sure nomad and his crew can defend against an army haha
