Hi, im still a freshman in LD but I am trying hard )
I’ll be curious about your oppinion on the topic!
I don’t think so! How should this work, this would be some kind of telepathy and we are not able to do that… perhaps telepathy works to some, minimalistic extend for some people, but not enough to “share dreams”…
Even if it is possible, it surly is a very uncommon experience and I don’t think it can be achieved intentionally…
Just my opinion, there will be others.
If your dreams happen inside your head, and your friend’s dreams happen inside his head, how can you communicate while asleep? I don’t see any medium for that kind of information to be transferred. If you could find one, well, it would revolutionize the fields of psychology and neurobiology.
And most likely physics too (there should be a new kind of electromagnetic wave, or so, for this to happen)…
Well my friends and I (three of us lve right on the same bloc with each other) have had the EXACT same dream on the EXACT same night. We were filling in parts for each other, it was amazing… I, personally, do believe its possible.
you people are such closed minded! I would expect more people on this website to believe in this kind of stuff.
Nobody can sit there and say whether it exists or not, because the truth is, we DONT know. We don’t even know what our brains are truely capable of. Sure we know where information is stored and how some parts of the brain function, but what about what goes on deeper than that? What if our brain acted like a super computer in a sort of way. And it had the capability to send out wireless signals and transmissions. What if all of our brains sent information to each other, and thats how more than one of the same idea is formed. We will never know until we extensify our research.
I think it’s more exact to say it is possible, rather than saying it isn’t. It’s like saying there are no life forms outside of Earth. Theres all that space and all of those galaxies, but people still say, we are the only ones.
As for personal accounts, I, like many others here, have witnessed some form of a “shared dream”, whether it be lucid or not. They do happen no matter how they happen. It could just be a coincidence and 2 people have the exact same dream with the exact same plot. Or it could be 2 people having the same exact dream by having some sort of connection with each other. Either way, it’s happening. Choose what you want to believe.
Our brain is much more capable than what you may think. Look at Remote Viewing and telepathy, and telekenisis…these are all things that can be actually performed, but half of the time, they are 100% unexplained by science. It’s almost as if we are not ready to find out how or why.
Anyways…I’m not one to force anybody to believe…just stating what I see
3 months ago I would have scoffed at the idea of Lucid dreaming and any other type of brain function I have never experienced such as telepathy and shared dreaming but now that I know that one of these is real I will never doubt the others until I give then some seriouse research and effort.
Well we do not know. That is true. In other words, we haven’t observed it or measured it scientifically, because it just haven’t been possible to measure something that is, frankly, just a rumor. It’s not closed minded to think that something is not possible, when ALL signs points in the direction that it really is not. Noone, as far as I know (and that really means a lot), have ever proved it to be possible to have an SD (because if someone could PROVE it, it would be sensational and all over the news…at least some of them… ) How can anyone say that just because it hasn’t been UNproved, it most certainly is possible? For instance, I KNOW that I cannot jump to the moon (except in an LD, ofcourse…something which I’ve done a number of times:), even though noone has ever proved that it is not possible. We could use the same arguments here, like saying that we don’t know EVERYTHING about the human body, that we don’t even know what we don’t know about it (!), but even though, I find it a lot more likely for it not to be possible in any way (at all whatsoever).
And this “theory” about SD’ing can in no way be compared to theories about lifeforms anywhere but on earth, because when we are speculating around the subject of aliens, we are developing probabilistic theories (based on what we know about things like the number of planets, what is needed to produce life, etc.), not deciding whether or not to “believe” in something (which is a completely different thing).
I think that the idea of Shared Dreams is a symptom of the fact that human beings are equipped with creative minds. That we really, really, really, really, REALLY would wish that it was possible. And that’s partially why I think the debate about shared dreams never ends, because we just haven’t developed out of the state in evolution where we just cannot “unprove” it. It’s a beautiful, prosaic thought, I’ll admit to that.
But I feel that it’s just a huge crap load of baloney…
Oh, and yes. I almost forgot. I think also that a reason why some people feel that they have had shared a dream, is that during night time (this is a fact) we “dream” on average around 60,000 different scenes and settings. In our heads.
Yes.
Ofcourse, only some of these can be remembered consciously like we are used to, but it might just explain why we experience things like having remarkably similare dreams, or dèja vu…
Huh? There hav always been scientists interested in this stuff. There have been experiments. Yes, real, scientific experiments. The results are very controversial, of course, but they indicate that ESP is possible.

Of course, you can argue that there are flaws in the design of the experiments. I personally have my doubts and am not decided on the topic.
my friend in amsterdam managed to try and have a shared dream, she told her other friend to expect a knock on the door in her dream. they both went to sleep at different flats and my friend she got round to her friends house and was knocking on the door but there was no answer and her friend a couple days later said that she didn’t see my friend but heard some loud banging on her door and wondered who would wake her up at 3am.
My friend explained to me that to have a shared dream you need to physically in a dream travel the same way you would to meet the person IRL and do something the other dreamer is expecting e.g. a knock on the door.
I have tried to wake people up in dreams but they never do, I am always interested in making a shared dream
I dont think it’s possible to prove that SD is impossible, and has yet to be proven that it is possible, I dont see why it shudn’t be possible. There are many claims of SD.
In the martial art i’m training in, the test for the 5th degree of black belt(5th dan). Basically this test consists of the testing student sitting on the floor in front of the teacher with their back to the teacher. Then without warning or sound the teacher strikes down with the sword as if to cut the student in half. To pass the student must roll out of the way, in a split-second. This used to be done with a live blade. They do this by using a sense called sakki, which allows them to sense someones intention to kill. I may of worded that badly. But I bet there are loads of people that would not believe that even if they saw it. They would just believe it to be a trick.
I must say , that I ain`T completely sure about this
But by now I think it`s possible .
Or hope !
Our minds are not fully researched AT ALL !
But one thing scares me :
If a LDer (experienced one ) manage to get into another nes dream, will he be able to control the dream ?
Control others dreams ?
Making them have nightmares ?
SCARY !
Thats a thought I watched an episode of Charmed(TV show), and this guy in a wheelchair was going into peoples dreams that rejected him IRL, and killing them in their dreams.
Reminds me of Matrix.
Smith: What good is a phonecall Mr. Anderson, if you cannot…speak.
Neo:
OH !
Making them have nightmares !
Making them wake up !
Destroy there sleep !
That would be a VERY hard thing to fight !
A little hard to judge …
And think if terrorists Use it against leaders !
And my enemies…
Time to GET LUCID!!!
He would knock them off buildings etc., then in real life they would have broken bones etc., as if they had actually been thrown off a building, which got the police confused, as there were no signs of moving them, and they were in bed still.
WOW !
And they can`t even use the law !
Can’t see why. If they can prove he’s physically hurting people it shouldn’t matter HOW he does it.
I saw a program on uk tv I can’t remember the full name of the series but it was called something like “mind, body, kick ass moves” or something. Anyway the guy on their is a trained martial artist and he showed a similiar thing, if go to this link you can found out about it, imdb.com/title/tt0421164/
but what the guy above said is definately not true, if you have ever zatoichi then you will know what I mean
