Thread: Lucid/shared dreams

Cool. You're in China? What's your nationality? British?

Anyway, I have a theory on the shared dreaming physical proximity idea.

You sleep with someone in the same bed, or same house, you talk about your dreams with them the next morning when you wake up, because there they are.

There are actually two users on here, Ezzie_Ezz and mrdeano who had a shared dream and didn't even know it until they randomly found each other in chat. She lives in Europe, and he lives in North America. They had never communicated previous to the shared dream.

Your electronic experiments are interesting. I am an electronics technician by trade. Have you ever seen Dreamscape, the movie?

Let's share dreams together.

Yes, I'm British, though I haven't lived in the UK for about 7 years - I moved to France in 2002, with the intention of retiring there, but things didn't work out and my [then] wife decided to divorce me in 2007 - so I had to sell my nice house in the Vienne, and ended up in China where I'm currently married to a Chinese woman.

I initially thought physical proximity might enable shared dreams (as most physical interactions obey the inverse square law), but practical experience has shown otherwise - it is just as easy to 'link up' with someone 10,000km away as it is with someone in the same bed. I think such mental connections may operate by quantum entanglement, though I don't have any evidence for this. If you live with someone you're more likely to get [statistically] invalid results as you will tend to discuss any dreams on waking, as you said, and possible influence each others' recollections. I have only had a significant number of shared dreams with someone who lived with me with one person, and we would not discuss any dreams until we had both written them down. I've also had shared dreams with someone whom I had not had any previous contact with, we subsequently met or texted each other (on an unrelated subject) and discovered we had been 'in touch' previously.

It would be interesting to try to share a dream with you, though I don't know whether this would work - of all the shared dreams I have had, nearly all have been with women (several hundred in total, with about 5-6 'strong' contacts vs. only 3-4 with other male friends. I don't know if this is because women have more 'psychic' ability, or because of physical/sexual attraction, as I am not in the least bit 'gay'. We would need to agree on a 'meeting point' - do you think we should pick an existing physical location that we both know, or try to 'build' somewhere on the 'astral' - although the more people that are involved [in the latter] the better the chance of success. A bit like 'second life' but based on the 'astral' and not in a server somewhere - although it might still need a computer to establish a 'link' reliably.

I haven't seen Dreamscape - I've just Googled for it, and it sounds quite interesting, though how can you assassinate someone (for real) in a dream?

Well, kelisi, a few of us meet on the Moon. We have built some dreamscapes there: A Biodome and a Dark Tower, a Temple in the City of Nowhere in the Land of Nod, and Dark Castle... I would suggest focusing on the Biodome, though. We have a description of it in the thread in my signature.

I agree about having a shared dream partner of the opposite gender, regardless of sexual orientation. I think it's about ying-yang energy, like north and south magnets.

I have to look up some of the phrases you used such as inverse square law, and quantum entanglement, though I am reading "Entangled Minds," albeit slowly.

Pretty amazing that you have had shared dreams with hundreds of people! I have with maybe a dozen or so (not including people from other dimensions.)

I do not believe that you can kill someone's phyiscal body from dreams, but you can definitely induce nightmares.

I think you misunderstood my earlier post - I've had hundreds of shared dreams, but only with 5 or 6 different people, and that was over a period of more than 50 years.

I'll read up on your Biodome, and see if I can locate it. Why did you pick the moon? It produces associations of a barren inhospitable place, which it certainly is in real life. When you say 'people from other dimensions' do you mean extraterrestials or people from other 'worlds', like Tir-na-Nog and the Tuatha de Danann? I've never had the fortune to 'meet' either sort.

Ah, I see. Still hundreds of shared dreams is awesome.

Raven Knight and I picked the Moon initially, because we thought there would be no people there for us to get confused about, since she and I have never met physically. Also, if you find yourself on the Moon, it's probably a dream since you can't breathe there!

I don't know those pronouns you refer to, but I mean extraterrestrials, and people from other worlds.
