Double Take... An Account of SHARED Dreams...

Waw! That’s very strange! Too bad that you couldn’t verify with her if the content of your dreams were exactly similar…

do some of you people ever have dreams where you feel like your playing some kind of astral/cosmic game with other dream players? not just dream characters but real people? i have these dreams sometime and the vibe in the dream is that im in another realm, not just some normal dream scenery and that the people are infact real. does anybody else have dreams that actually feel like this? i dont know if these are shared dreams or just very vivid and entertainin ones. but it certainly does feel like they are part of another world not just normal dream scenery.

Hi, Clown!

I get that feeling in all my dreams. The characters act realistically, seem to have real personalities, quirks and emotions. I treat the dream people as if they were real. However, I don’t believe in shared dreams - I do think the people in the dreams don’t really exist. (Never underestimate your imagination!) But they seem real enough at the time, lucid or not.

You talked like 3 days ?

Thats sure it took long , its strange but I can’t feel a dream that last more than a hour. Its almost impossible…

i used to have dreams as a child where i would play dream tag with somebody else. they would pop into my dream and then id be it, so then theyd hop into a higher or lower level of dreams, and id chase after them. it was neat. i just intiutively knew how to go lower or higher through the dreamscape, going in and out of different dreams. these happened when i was 4-6 years old i guess. i never knew the persons name, i just always instictively knew it was a male.

Is shared dreaming something you can control or does it happen accidentaly?

Last night my dream lasted for what felt like 3 hours. It was a ND, but it was still an REM. Some jerk was shooting at me, lol.

My dream are usually maximum 30 minutes.
Its weird because , for like a month , its almost always dream in the morning , 1 hour before I awake.

I find it cool because I look at the clock before and after the dream and it look a lot like real-time dream. One day , the dream lenght was like 15,30 minutes and I sleeped 30 minutes.

In the most interesting cases I’ve read, it seems it happens randomly. I just know rather well one people who says he has many SD’s in a sort of voluntarily way, that is shared dreaming with another person is their dream objective but they cannot control when they will have a SD.

I don’t take in account cases where people say they don’t know the person they share the dream with. I supose some people have many dreams with a recurrent DC. It’s interesting, but it cannot really be counted as a SD IMO.

@Xetrov

mis_dolfijn that’s an awesome experience! Have you asked your friend if she can do that with other people to, or have you tried it again with her? Would be interesting to hear more about this.

I’m sorry I didn’t answer earlier, no we didn’t try on, she said I had to discover it on my own, she’s the reason why I want to be a witch (wicca) and she really helped me out, but back then I wasn’t interested in dreams, so bad because I think I could have learned much from her and her family (her mother and grandmother are witches) now I don’t see her anymore and that’s too bad because I want to ask her so many questions, I still hope one day I will see her again

@Keys and Clocks

Since quite a few of you have lucid dreams, and can tell eachother you’re dreaming I have a few questions. (because I’m curious)

How do you find the people to tell them they’re dreaming? Do you use that door thing, where you imagine something is behind the door and then open it?

My friend used some sort of portal she said and she said it’s important to have some kind of feeling of that person, you know like euh you can feel the pressence of that person, difficult to understand

What happens when two people are having a shared dream and one of you wake up? Does that person appear to dissappear to the person still in the dream? Do they walk away?

I think they just disappear, never asked actually

And finally, would having a shared dream and telling the person they were dream help people have lucid dreams? If so I’d like to try that.

Now, look at me, I didn’t become lucid, I just thought she was crazy but it could be because I didn’t know LD’s back then

[MagiLeah]

Is it possible (when lucid) to pop into someone else’s dream you know? That would be really cool, since shared dreams are possible . . .

[mod]since this topic and the original BIG shared dreaming topic are overlapping now, rather than sticking to the original goal of this topic, which was to post dreams and not discuss wether shared dreaming is possible or not (or how it can be possible), i have decided to lock this topic.

Please use the BIG shared dreaming topic to discuss further
