Thread: Is sharing dreams possible ?

I don't know how people would know that they were sharing a dream with someone, and that that someone wasn't just a DC. Not only that, but you would have to both be asleep and lucid at the same time... seems improbable, just with that criteria. I can't say it doesn't exist, but I'm not going to believe in it unless I experience it.

well i guess I was about to find out of i was dealing with a dc or not. ofcourse in order to find out the other guy had to remember AND be lucid and all but anyways i tried t
esting for a DC/ real person in this dream i had.
You can read about it in this section, the post is called "Scariest experience ever"

Fact is i won't really believe it either except for if I ever experience it or see real evidence.

Yeah, again unproven. On the other hand I believe in the possibility of... well, anything. I knew a pagan lady who had huge respect in the pagan community (she was like the highest rank.) She told me shes had many shared dreaming experiences and shes not one to lie, trust me. So WHO KNOWS!!! I personally cannot fully believe it until I experience it for myself!

Look, scientifically, no it's just not possible. I don't mean to be close minded but I would align this with paranormal activity. Then again, if you believe in that I just don't know what to tell you. If saw some strong proven research on the contrary I could be swayed but it would have to be real research and be big news. I assure you if stuff like that was possible it would be highly publicized.

So, "scientifically", is it possible to violate the Principle of Locality?

If it is (as quantum physics seems to show experimentally) then where lies the impenetrable barrier between two dreaming minds?

If it is not, how does science explain quantum entanglement?

Not saying shared dreaming is possible. In fact, I am skeptical because it seems like it would be pretty easy to prove if it was. But I don't think you have to get too far out from science that is accepted by a majority of physicists to arrive at a theory for how shared dreaming "might" be possible.

"Just not possible" is a mighty strong statement in a world FULL of mystery.

If it is possible, this is the first time in human history we will be able to prove it. Let's start by assuming dream time is linear and corresponds to waking time. In order to prove that shared dreaming is possible, 2 or more dreamers have to be lucid together and recall a specific set of instructions to confirm their encounter in real life. Email would be the most logical choice as a means of confirmation as it is simple to remember and has global reach. I predict the first break through will come between 2 people in different parts of the world that confirm their encounter through an email message from one to the other the next day. While it will only be proven to those involved, the accomplishment should be enough to initiate a serious set of experiments from experts in the field. If I ever get one of these emails from someone out there, Dr. LaBerge is going to have to add me to his pay roll.
