Thread: Is Dream Sharing Possible?

People always use the fact that the scientific method cannot be utilized to define something like shared dreaming. Even though there are theories, which shouldn't be an article of faith, people still rely on these theories as a basis to define something that would otherwise be paranormal.

It's amazing that most people want to say that anything is possible in dreaming, and yet they still lock the concept of shared dreaming because there isn't enough reliability, even though non-shared dreaming elements themselves aren't completely reliable as well. The reason why it seems focusing on practical aspects of dreaming instead of the subjective nature of shared dreaming is eaiser is the fact that lucid dreaming is a scientifically proven phenomenon.

Shared dreaming on the other hand, despite knowing that anything can be possible in dreaming, creating mental barriers that it's something else leads one to believe that it isn't worth practicing. No one wants to take things one step at a time, because others will still continue to doubt a person's belief on shared dreaming because of the potential of it not being reliable.

People want consistent results, but even when you only lucid dream for practical and tangible measures, there will be a point where you can't even explain more complicated processes that initiate how your dreams could be shared.

I personally think that if you want to believe whether or not shared dreaming is possible, you can't be swayed into other people's thought processes and jump on their bandwagon, it will just stop you from seeing what could be there.

I've had cases where I've found some similarities with a few members, and they had a similar experience as well, because most of the time, we find each other hitting the same REM periods, and I'm still doing it because it's interesting to find more and more similarities from each individual.

When it's just one person's experience, it's easy to define dreaming, when it's more than that, it elevates the subjectivity even more, making it a difficult process to confirm without contradicting the rudiments of dreaming itself.

There can also be the possibility of it being dream telepathy, or meeting someone on the dreaming plane, but again, some people do not want to believe in that possibility, even though they know in dreaming, anything can be possible.

Lucid dreaming itself is still a growing trend, even though it's been apparent long before. It's more of a "Finding Atlantis" trend. It'll die off, and then come back as something new and "evolutionary."
