Thread: Can You Really Share Dreams

It might be better to ask the folks in beyond dreaming. I don't believe it at all, personally. I see dreams as a purely individualistic cognitive process not involving an astral realm or any such concept.

Some people believe it, but personally I won't believe it until I experience it myself and I'm sure we were having the exact same dream.

u should ask one of the shared dreamers, like Raven Knight, WakingNomad, Mosh, or any others to help you if you want to try. honestly im not sure until i experience it myself, because it does seem impossible. but we'll see. i hope its true.

Yeah it would be really cool to share a dream, I just don't believe in it. I'll try to ask some of the shared dreamers.

I really can't say for sure. I've read a few of Nomad's DJ entries, and supposedly I was in the dreams, and I can't remember them. But then again, I didn't remember ANYTHING from that night. So I guess it's your call.

I haven't had a whole lot of lucid dreams, but if one of the shared dreamers sees this thread I'd like to know how difficult it is.

You see, when it comes to flying I've read here that a lot of people have trouble with it. However, I effortlessly did it on a whim the first time I attempted it. Same with walking through walls. I'm sure now that I was able to fly because I didn't try to do it, I "just did it." Is shared dreaming something you can just "do" like other dream abilities? Or does it require special attention?

Agreed.

Im sure its real. Iv had one with my flatmate adn in the morning when he told me about his dream my jaw dropped. Im sure you will experience it, just have an open mind, dont dismiss it. I know a lot of you are just gona straight up say nope its not real but just give it a go

If lucid dreaming is a form of communication, the answer is yes. I have every reason to believe that it is.

However, I would not expect it to become a common practice until man can share in truth during his waking life. This means that someone is going to have to teach man about truth in language.

I do try to keep an open mind about this sort of thing, but I don't really see how it's possible. Some people will say, 'Astral plane' but they're just words to me... There seems to be an awful amount of convenient vagueness in those areas.

If the claim is yes, then one has made the implicit claim that they involve telepathy. If they then make that claim, then they also increase exponentially that dreams are not always of human origin. --- and they then agree with ancient scripture.

You can actually acquire a valid answer to this question using lucid dreaming itself--however, you will not be prepared for the answer. How can anyone be?

I told somebody in my dreamlast night in my lucid that he was dreaming and to go to this site and post in the general discussion forum

I'm not quite sure about this either, my latest LD my brother was in it and I believed we were in a shared dream and I told him we are either shared dreaming or he is part of my imagination. I asked later he didn't remember any dreams =P waste of a lucid having to hang with your brother not being able to do the stuff i wanted =P. I guess he could've forgotten idk.

its not possible, but it would be cool :p

I find it kind of funny that lots of people here so quickly to dismiss the possibility of shared dreams. It's kind of like the subject of lucid dreaming, before I experienced being lucid in a dream I never thought that that was possible. I was ignorant to the experience back then. Dreaming almost seems like it should be impossible to me, yet we experience it every night, so I wouldn't be so quick to say "Nope, not possible." because what do you know about the experience? There are other people here who have had (or believe they have had) the experience and obviously have a completely different view now on what is "possible" or not. I'd rather be optimistic and say it's possible however uncommon it might be for the population.

I agree with you, Just because you haven't experienced something, it doesn't mean that it's not possible. i'm sure even what we do here on the internet every day seems quite impossible for someone back in the 1800's. If you could travel back in time and tell them we could talk to eachother no matter what the distance between us, u would be considered nuts

'k lol i just had to make a little facepalm on this comment.
Our minds are in our own heads which are not connected by some kind of wireless transmitting to dream about the same thing. everything that points to the existence of shared dreaming is coincidence. I know, it sounds fun and part of me wants to believe it too, that is when i speak out of my heart, not my common sense.

If you would show those 1800 people the technology, and tell them how it works, they would accept it, but there is no proof for shared dreaming

Agree with this hands down. When I first started LDing, I wasn't sure if it was possible, it would have made for some crazy nights with all the possibilities, but, having no experience in it, I kept an open mind and tried to LD eventually having my first one and knowing that it does exist. I don't know if shared dreaming exists, but, if it does, I would much rather keep an open mind and end up experiencing it, then vice-versa

Im sure its real. Iv had one with my flatmate adn in the morning when he told me about his dream my jaw dropped. Im sure you will experience it, just have an open mind, dont dismiss it. I know a lot of you are just gona straight up say nope its not real but just give it a go

If what you say is true, thats amazing! If it really is real, I want to try it. But first I have to get better at individual lucid dreaming, lol.

same here, i'd love to try but i must still have my first decent LD

Sharing dreams is entirely possible, I think. I'm a pretty crappy lucid dreamer, and I've shared dreams before. And @ Catzisconfus, I think saying that "everything pointing to the existence of shared dreaming is a coincedence" is a bit extreme. If people have dreams where the same things happen, things look the same, sound the same, and even have the same dialogue between people, then that's a pretty big coincedence, especially if it happens regularly.

My brother told me that once he shared a regular dream with somebody. He basically had a dream with somebody and then later he told the person about it and the guy had the exact same dream. So I guess it is possible.

I believe that it is very possible... the only problem is what if you have it with someone that never remembers their dreams so they just don't remember it and think you're crazy .

yes, you can really share dreams. so many people have had them. we use to have a large journal documenting the MANY shared reams people have had at DV. It is impossible to explain them away. for you sceptics I'd like to see you try.
