A shared dreaming project.

I've always wanted to do a club on here, dedicated to doing shared dreaming experiments. Almost like a dreaming RPG. Anyone interested

me too, but I'm a little disappointed and deflated after the epic failure of Lucid Urth just a few day after I "moved in". A new attempt should be more open, more focused on what can be done today, less RPG and more free floating SD experience. And of course not dependent on one or two leaders, who think they could "create" or "nuke" a dream world like changing underwear.

I've been trying to get back into this.

Due to the nature of this post, I would think it belongs in the "Beyond Dreaming" section.

Shared dreaming is a very romantic notion, and I don't want to put you off trying, but how is it supposed to work? I can see a way that shared dreaming might work in the future where a direct link is made between consciousness of two or more subjects, but that is still several decades away I suspect. (If even now we can image what a person is seeing by a brain scan of the visual cortex, why not reading and creation of such images between subjects in the future?)

Goldenspark, I've already been successful with sending signals while dreaming from the outside world to the lucid dream and back with EEG/EOG readings and visual (blinking LEDs) and auditory (beeping sounds) morse codes, even under sleep lab conditions. One could replicate that at home with ZEOs, and the Internet for technical communication betweek dreamers. But this is not the kind of SD we are talking here. Just give it a try, instead of the basic discussion if and how it is possible...

[Goldenspark]

I get you Raipat, it's just that the idea of SD trends to bring out a mystical element that I don't have much time for. Sending signals is the very start of true SD, but I'm thinking of full on VR style being in the same dream with one or more others like in "Inception". I think that, or something like it may well be possible in the future. Right now, what does shared dreaming mean to you? It has all the hallmarks of a parlour trick if anyone claims to really be able to share the same dream.
