Is it possible to have a shared dream with people you haven’t actually seen and/or people you don’t even know? Has anyone ever tried this? 
hmm… I imagine you could, but how would you know if you couldn’t contact the person you had a dream with? For all we know, all of our DCs in our dreams could be other people dreaming at the same time, yet we don’t know who they are while in RL.
hmm, interesting theory there. I’ll make sure I experiment with that if I can ever bceome lucid…lol.
Mabe you already have… 
Hi! this is my first post. Thanks in advance for the warm welcome by the way.
I’ve had this thought aswell. Maybe the dreamcharacters are controlled by other people, even though they don’t look like they do irl. Who knows? Maybe they’re even the person we knows parallelldimension alter ego or something.
But if it’s possible to have sane conversations with the dreamcharacters in a LD, wouldn’t it be possible to just ask them about their names, occupation, where they live and so on? Then just google? 
It sure is an interesting theory…
Welcome to the forums Covah!
Intrestingly, I now have experience with this! In one of my dreams a few weeks ago, I met a guy named “Sean” at the college I’m gonna go to in the fall this year. He looked about 5’9", 180 lbs, and had brown hair and blue eyes.
IRL, just over the past few days, I did spring testing for the college I’m going to, and while I was there, I overheard someone who took the same test I did, so I went over to talk to him and he looked pretty close to what “Sean” looked like. But, his name was Mitchell, but he did look pretty close to my DC.
Before spring testing, I was wondering if “Sean” was the actual “Seandop” Member here at ld4all… I haven’t seen a picture of Seandop so I don’t really know.
