Dream Sending

[Validus]

So I'm quite sure there isn't a topic regarding the sending of dreams, So I thought I'd start one to gather your guys' thoughts on it. Maybe even some experiences too. In no way am I talking about shared dreaming. Just as the title reads, this is the act of sending one a dream. It could also apply to the sending of an object intended to appear in one's dream as well. Two people are involved in this. A sender, and a receiver. It's quite simple really, Like packaging up some mail and sending it on its way. However, You don't know just what will come of that package. It may get broken, destroyed, or even lost on the way to it's destination. We simply hope it will get to where it's intended to be. Usually, It's able to reach it's destination. A Little Story. Now, I'm not suggesting that one sends another an ENTIRE pre-meditated dream, in which the receiver gets to experience. I speculated a while back that a simple theme could potentially shape an entire dream. With this suspicion, me and a friend decided, "well hell, it's worth a shot!". So, I chose my mind to be the final destination of the 'mail' and he was to be the sender, being that my recall was pretty fantastic at the time, and he's also an experienced dreamer. Firstly, when we were testing the theory - We agreed upon symbols. ($%&*, etc) To send and be received. They're easily recognised, and we are both familiar with them. I was not told of the symbol he would send, I would simply go to bed as per usual, meditate, open my mind, and fall asleep, hoping for the best. Upon waking, I'd then share the recollection of my dream. (Also, We were very far apart. He was in Alberta, I was taking a vacation in British Columbia at the time) So I woke up the next night, with a great recollection of an NLD where I had been checking out at the grocery store, and a buzzer went off and confetti fell from the ceiling, the worker started yelling " You've won! You've won! " I'm like.. I did what?? She then goes on to tell me I've won $17,000. I was thinking to myself holyshit! I'm rich! Shortly after that, I woke up. Probably from all the excitement, lol. So after I wake up, I go and talk about how I won all this money in my dreams to my buddy. (Completely forgot that we were even doing this little experiment) And he tells me he sent me the symbol " $ " . First try, and some sweet results in by opinion. ------------ Since then, I've been experimenting with this from time to time. I wondered if It's possible to link emotions when sending. For instance, I once linked the emotion of fear with the visualization of a pistol, and sent it to another friend of mind. (He was unaware that I was sending, and NEVER is able to recall his dreams) He wakes up in the morning to me asking if he has any recollection from his sleep. To my surprise he tells me he was running away from the cops because they'd caught him smoking up. ------------ I know I didn't go into too-too much detail regarding HOW it's done, rather just me explaining my experiences with it. So, If you guy's would like to know how I do it and all that good stuff, be sure to reply! Also, If anyone else has experimented with this, please share! - Thanks for reading

I really want to know how to do this.

[Validus]

PM me when you get a chance, I'd be happy to share my method

[Voldmer]

I think this is a highly interesting idea, and I certainly would encourage you to do a range of experiments of this kind, whilst keeping a meticulous log of the results. It can be very difficult to establish from just a few experiments, whether the sending of dreams can be done with any kind of reliability, but after collecting the results of a fair amount of experiments, a clear pattern may emerge. Do keep it up!

Wow, very interesting. I'd love to do that, but how exactly?

[Sageous]

PM me when you get a chance, I'd be happy to share my method Why share in a PM, when you've already created the thread? I think others here, myself included, would very much like to know your method for doing this.

I think I'll have to take you up on that, And go into more extensive experimentation with it. I appreciate the encouragement. --- Why share in a PM, when you've already created the thread? I think others here, myself included, would very much like to know your method for doing this. True enough. But, It wouldn't have seemed appropriate to me, throwing up a little tutorial without at least a couple individuals requesting it. Nonetheless, I'll get to conjuring up my method into words by the end of tonight and post it in the thread. If you guys are in mutual agreement with the works of it, Ill put it to an extensive test and try to perfect it within the next couple weeks.

I've created a quick tutorial to later be scrutinized. By me, and hopefully others as well. This wont be in great detail, because to be honest I don't think I've enough experience with it to get into extreme detail. Firstly, as said previously, there are two people involved. A sender, and a receiver. Sending takes most of the required effort so Ill start by explaining how one could potentially set themselves up to send. Step One: Creating The sender, in my opinion, should have at least minimal experience with visualizing objects in detail. Using an apple as an example, one should start by creating the apple, and giving a nice bit of detail to it. Anyone can quickly think of an apple, and see it within their mind as well. However, You need to go a little deeper than just 'seeing' the apple. (By this I mean linking) Take the apple, give it some (preferably) natural colouring, because well.. it's rather familiar to everyone. Thus, one would suspect it'd be easier to receive. Don't forget it's little stem on the top too, all that good stuff. Step 2: Linking Okay, After the creation of the object, I link sensations, or even emotions within it. (Usually, Ill create the object with the emotion/sensations I want it to hold. I'll keep them in mind, when creating it, but not actually fully 'link' it.) So, after the creation is done, I really emphasize the sensations or emotions to get them linked to the object. Let's say we wanted the person to be afraid of this apple. Ill take my being, and become fear. I am afraid, I feel scared for my fucking life. As if Freddie Krueger has just popped up, and you bet your ass he's going to kill me. After I've experienced this emotion, bottle it up, and shove it into the apple. I then let that little bottle of emotion burst under the pressure of being encased by the apple, letting the apple become smothered in the emotion, it's emanating fear now. Perfect. Step 3: Sending it on it's Journey So we have our apple of fear, and now we've got to package it up and send it on it's merry way. This is where I now begin to visualize the receiver, more specifically; their mind. Ill take that apple of fear, and nestle it nicely in their mind. Planting it. Telling myself, "This is where you're going to end up, apple" "There's nowhere else for you, but within their dreams" Kinda thing, I guess sort of a mantra, really. After that little initial plantation, showing it where it needs to be, I imagine it being sent on it's journey. Before this though, I make sure to fill it with the rest of my energy and will, to ensure that it has enough power to make the journey to their mind. RECEIVER Okay, so if you've got someone you want to send to, I'd recommend you inform them that'd your going to attempt to give them a dream, and only should they accept, so your not going against their will, you'll attempt to send. I like to tell that person that they should meditate before going to bed, and try to open their mind a bit. Relax, and exist. I don't want them to think all that hard on receiving the 'package'. This could hinder the results by them subconsciously putting up a wall that's saying 'IMPOSSIBLE" "THIS CAN'T HAPPEN" "I'M NOT GOING TO REMEMBER THE DREAM" etc, etc. That's really all on their part, opening their mind to allow the dream to be accepted. If all goes well, and it reaches it's destination, It's extremely satisfying. It's also really fun to see how that object/emotion shaped their dream. Something like "So this giant apple was chasing me down, yelling, YOU BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU EAT MY BROTHERS!" That'd be quite entertaining _________ I put this together rather quickly, It's also quite late, so I apologize if it's not very thorough and informative. It'll be perfected later on, anyway. _________ Also! Ill be really putting dream sending to the test for the next couple of weeks, because why not? Ill get to see if If it can become consistent, all the while perfecting the method. So if your interested, pop into the thread every now and then, because ill post the results here. 3 Of my close friends will be participating. We will name them, F, B, And S. Ill be sending, and receiving. F Will be purely sending. S & B Will only be receiving. B - Smokes copious amounts of weed, never recalls dreams. It'll be fun getting through to him, Lol. He know's Ill be sending to him and on which days, I Told him to keep his mind open, and maybe meditate... This was followed by the question "How do I meditate?" hahaha. S - Pretty good recall, Couple lucid dreams. He knows I'll be sending, but not exactly when. Told him the same thing as B, He was happy to oblige. F - Very experienced lucid dreamer. Recall is called upon easily. He will be sending to me tonight. And probably to S as well within the week, but we'll figure that out later. Hopefully we get some nice results!
