I saw a post on Reddit from someone whose friend told him she would visit him in a dream, and that night he had a very vivid dream about her. He said the next morning, before he even brought it up, she was telling him every detail of the dream from her own perspective. And I don't think this could have been a case of manufacturing false memories, as he said he actually had those details in mind before he spoke to her. And she seemed to remember specific conversations as well. There's always the possibility that he's lying about the whole experience, but I've been messaging back and forth with him for a while and he seems very sincere; he doesn't seem like he's lying at all.

I know there's many people here who believe in shared dreams, and many people who claim to have had them. And I know that, on the off chance it is real, it's not something that's impossible unless both people believe it's possible, as the guy I was talking to didn't believe in it either until it happened to him. So that means that if shared dreaming is real, it's something that can be proven to a (soon-to-be-ex-)skeptic through a firsthand experience—the guy I was messaging can attest to that. Unfortunately, however, he hasn't been able to get in contact with the person he told me about, even though I'd love to talk to her about it myself.

Now I'm a skeptic myself. I know that the mind is a very mysterious thing, but all scientific evidence says it's contained entirely in the human brain, which is bound by the laws of physics. And those laws of physics don't seem to provide for any way for one brain to communicate with another through any non-physical means. Furthermore, if shared dreaming is possible, it's something that would be possible to prove scientifically under controlled conditions.

But after seeing so many posts (even knowing they could very easily all be trolls, no offense to anyone who isn't trolling) from people who claim to have firsthand experience that proves to them there's no way it didn't happen, I'd be lying if I said I was 100% certain it was impossible. If I was, I wouldn't be posting this, and I wouldn't be at all interested in those posts. And while my strongest belief is that it simply isn't possible, I'd certainly love to have that belief proven wrong. After all, if shared dreaming were possible, that would be really cool, and a lot of fun.

So is there anyone here who thinks they can prove to me that it's possible? Not by presenting anecdotal evidence, but rather by somehow visiting me in a dream. I don't think it can be done, but if what I've heard from the people who do believe it's possible is true, then proving it in the way I'm suggesting is something that can be done.

Anyone think they can do it?
