      Hi - A Shared Dream

      I had never really even considered the possibility of lucid dreaming, however accidentally experiencing a shared lucid dream the other day has opened my eyes to this enjoyable phenomena.
      About a week ago, my "brother" (not blood, but we've been friends since we were both freshman in high school and have formed a very close emotional bond with each other) stayed the night at my place. That night, he was in my dream. And I don't know how exactly, but I realized I was dreaming over the course of the dream, and mentioned something about it to the dream-him. I decided that since it was my dream, I could do what I wanted, and decided we should explore the ocean. It was a phenomenal experience.

      The next day, he told me about HIS dream. He didn't have the best recall, but it was enough to convince me we shared a dream. We've shared dreams before, but this was the first time I ever went lucid during one, and I can't help but think if we're sharing the dream, and we both manage to go lucid, then maybe the 8 hours of sleep were supposed to get a night won't be quite so much of a waste xD

      However, I'm still new to this whole thing. So.... here's to hoping I gain the ability to lucid dream at will, and once i do this hopefully I'll find some way to induce a shared dream ^_^ The emotional bond should make that part easier, although if there were a way to share dreams with anyone and go lucid (and telling the other person that it's a dream might be enough to induce lucid dreaming in the other party... I don't know) then life could get really interesting o_o

      "There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."

      Can't guarantee that. Besides that one, my dreams are normally fairly boring. Haha

      Welcome!
      Interesting experience there. Anyone else notice shared dreaming is becoming slightly more common?

      Are they? I did a forum search and noticed a few others. Did they not used to happen?
      I wonder what would cause that to shift.

      Many people share their experiences. Raven Knight and WakingNomad are the most well known for shared dreaming, IMO. Naturally, its still largely debated and often confined to BD discussion.

      You might want to get Robert Waggoner's Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self. He's a very experienced lucid dreamer and has had many shared dreams. The book is what's making me start to open to the possibility shared dreaming might be real. I remember a couple of dreams I've had that might fit the bill.. including a lucid recently that I need to ask my friend about....

      Oh, and if you're at all interested in attaining lucidity other than randomly once or twice in your life, you really should start a dream journal. It's the best way to increase your dream recall (what good are lucids if you don't remember them?) and it helps you to get in deeper contact with your dreaming mind, which is pretty inaccessible for most people (mainly because they don't even think about their dreams).
