I noticed that a lot of people seem to have a fairly strong belief that shared dreaming is possible, or more broadly that dreams do not only exist within our brains/minds.

I see these claims as very extraordinary and don't really understand how anyone could believe them without strong evidence. I haven't really looked for evidence, so I thought I'd ask you guys directly: what is your evidence?

I'm interested in anecdotal accounts, but the best thing I could imagine would be if someone could offer to directly affect my dreams in some way. If anyone could astral project/share a dream with me, that would be f**king awesome. If you claim to be able to share dreams, but unable to share a dream with me, I am interested in why that is so and what I would need to do to facilitate the process.

Any takers?
