Registration Deadline: Friday, June 22 2007
Shared Dreams Dates: Periodically between the above and below dates.
Expected Shared Dreaming Finale Date: Saturday, August 11 2007
The Party is being put on by Dreamport.net, and should be quite something. The goal of the party is to have a bunch of people having a shared dream to be verified later. It’s worth noting that this is also rather experimental, and is not a guaranteed lucid. At the present, it looks like there will be a required training course for all applicants, to ensure that they are capable of being lucid. The party is currently in the preliminary planning stages, so if you want to help contribute to the planning of it, you still have that chance right now.
I’d like to add on to what The Mad Hatter has presented a bit. The deadline for this / these event(s) does not constitute as a “no more joining” type thing. The deadline is simply there to show you that at that point, we as a group will prepare step by step for shared dreaming. If you miss that deadline, you will just have to catch up on your own.
Also, we are beginning test shared dreams this week for anybody interested.
Thank you The Mad Hatter for posting up about this! I hope to see everybody else there!
The problem is im in austria so its midday here when most of you folks are sleeping …
An idea for the european OOB goers: why not use a AP tech to get to the meeting place(it wouldn’t be dreaming exactly but rather a trance but the outcome would be the same i think…)
provided shared dreaming &going oob works that is …
i see ben has moved the shared dreaming party to his own forum now. Now, I should inform you that the last shared dreaming party, ben pretended to have a shared dream with someone, but that someone shared the same IP as him, and he claimed he had never met this person, and later he said it was his brother.
So keep an open mind everyone but also do not believe everything you read.
BTW, ben was banned for a while of LD4all because of this deceiving, and I only hope he will not do it again.
Wow Q, that was a bit sudden. I’m not quite sure why that post was deserved, given that the incident happened a year ago. I’m sorry if you find it hard to believe that more than one person in my family is into lucid dreaming, and that I actually referred them to your site.
You banned me for no stable reason for a month, lied to many about me, and then further accused me of self-promotion. But you know what, I let that go, and here I am, back in the same humble home of LD4All. I don’t understand the hostility here, but I hope you can at least reconsider your feelings.
Anyway, I would like to assure everybody that unlike last time, this shared dreaming experiment is not only not being planned by me, but also it’s strictly more on the research side. We’re trying to obviously prove to ourselves and others that shared dreaming is possible, and we’re trying to figure out how much it’s limited. By this I mean can two people have a shared dream if they sleep at different time periods (this should hopefully solve the time problem, sakoda)? Or, can people freely enter any other person’s dream whenever they please? It’s questions like these that we’re trying to answer. Sure, there will still be an incubated dreamscape, but we’re also wanting there to be confirmed accounts. In addition, instead of having just one night, we will be performing these shared dreams multiple nights per week once we get moving.
All in all though, we’re pretty excited about it, and we already know many others are too. This is indeed the step in the direction to what dreams may come. If you think normal lucid dreaming is fun, wait until you can do it with your friends!
well there is no need to discourage people from participating do to past speculation in which you have no solid evidence. Especially considering the topic. In fact, I have reason to believe that most of the people on this site embellish the truth to some extent. I tend to do it myself to some extent because there are gaps in my dreams that I have to fill if I am going to explain them to another. It comes with the territory, given the theme of this website.
The idea is very interesting and it should be pursued. Shared dreaming is something that many are interested in. Bendrummin58 seems to be trying to accomplish something that tends to be on the difficult side of things. This sort of activity should be embraced.
be careful what you say Napalm, there is no reason or need to start placing blame all over the place other wise this topic will turn into a flame.
Its human nature to expand on things not just the people on this site, be aware of that.
I too share bens’s passion for shared dreaming, as do a lot of people here, and a lot of people who are not of this forum, its one of the last things left to try for that seems impossible, and although his idea may be seen as research they must be conducted in a research manor to be of any use.
There is a lot of planning going into this party, it will be interesting to see how scientific it all turns out to be. For the sake of past reputation and future, Ben i would suggest making it as formal as possible.
Lastly Napalm, it appears to me that Q is not saying what she wrote to discourage but more to let people become aware of past allocations and i am sure, you can understand why especially in a topic like this.
So again no blame games or attacking. Ben if you have a point to prove then prove it through your research and efforts. If anyone else wishes to place blame here or there on the past,i suggest that you reconsider posting.
If you read what i said you would realize im not placing any blame on anyone. In fact, i am doing just the opposite. All I am saying is that dreaming is a very “open” topic and people have a tendency to elaborate a tad. And that is just a broad statement based on the logs I read from other people and my own thoughts. Its human nature. I tend to do it myself. My point is, we cant throw everyone under the bus every time we suspect something strange.
Im defending what he is trying to accomplish. I completely agree with you. Ben should prove what he is doing with the results he gets from this experiment, and I have every intention of helping him do so. My whole point is that it should not be DISCOURAGED.
Napalm, I’m afraid that you statment about “Embellishing the truth” will cause a flame war, because it is untrue. Most of the people on this website are telling the truth, about all their claims.
You should really check what you say.
JelliedGasoline, Why would you believe that the members are lieing?
Ok this is going too far. Regardless of what everybody’s opinion is over this dispute, it has been too long to start arguing again, especially on branches that are completely irrelevant. If anything though, I ask that you at least be decent enough to take it somewhere else; there really is no point to waking an old sleeping monster.
