Thread: Dream Sharing

I've had mix results with some WILD/VILD, ranging from nothing at all to fairly vivid images and some sounds, but as of yet non succesful. Although I found a friend of my whose been lucid dreaming since he was a little boy. I'll see if he'll help.

If we prove shared dreaming, we could look into ways to stop people coming into are dreams just so we can provide privicy.

If we prove shared dreaming, our entire view of reality is completely shattered. It opens up a whole new can of worms, as so many possibilities that sound downright absurd with current scientific knowledge would immediately gain some credibility. If it's possible to enter someone else's dreams, that means that dreams aren't just thoughts local to an individual's brain. It means that dreams are an objective reality and quite possibly another world/dimension/universe. If there's a "dreamscape" out there that anyone can access, that makes some New Age/occult crazy babblings somewhat more credible and could mean that there's something out there beyond the physical world. Non-physical entities could exist, and dream guides could potentially be entities that exist outside of our brains, etc. Proving shared dreaming opens up a million different theories and completely decimates our current perception of reality.

You can see the implications of such a thing being possible. That's why this is such a huge test.

Wow, I guess this does have big implications. Thanks for making that clear, GMoney. For this to cause scientists to rewrite the current laws of physics, though, assuming shared dreaming does turn out to be real, would require far more in-depth and documented research.

In any case, it would be cool if this experiment successfully concluded that shared dreaming exists.
