Obviously this program isn't going to magically make to people share dreams... But since no one has solid proof that it ISN'T possible to share dreams, this is a first step towards figuring that out . |
Here is a video of some folks just starting to use this code for social dreaming experiments:

| I think dream sharing is very possible! Brainwaves can be picked up by machines so why not by anothers mind. I have had the exact same dream as a friend before, down to every singe detail but neither of us were lucid. Am interested to hear more about how this program works! |

Well, usually instances involving ESP in which two people have the same dream, do not have the dreamers in direct contact with eachother during the dream.
For expample: There was a dying dog that a radiator fell onto. Two people who worked at the place the dog was at, woke up a 2:00 from a bad dream involving a radiator falling on a dog. They go back to sleep thinking it was nothing. When they arrive at work, one asks the other how his night was.
"Oh, I woke up at around two with a bad dream."
"Was it about the dog?"
They ran into the auto body shop and found that the dog had died the way it was depicted in their dreams.
How credible is this? No one really knows. But if it was indeed truthful, they shared a dream, but not in a sense in which they were both occupying the same dream space.
ESP seems to be the only media through which shared dreaming can be acheived. The problem is that the validity of ESP is quite controversial. No one has proof either for or against it.
Of course, for those of you who have watched "Through The Wormhole" with Morgan Freeman, you know that thought transmission has been proven. They successfully sent thoughts from one person to another, but both of them had to be wearing some strange headgear that altered their magnetic fields. The effect was that both people shared the same magnetic field (one that was cut off from the Earth's own). Precognitive function to a certain degree was also proven. The five second emotional headstart people had when viewing various images (presentiment). For anyone curious as to what episode this was: "Is there a sixth sense?"

I say proof, when in reality it is still considered only substantial evidence. But the evidence is so substantial that the probability of its validity is overwhelming. It lies just on the boundary between evidence and proof.
So perhaps dream sharing will be possible someday. This is one strange world, and our understanding of it is insignificant. But who knows when we will be able to instrumentalize such a thing.

If I remember correctly I didn't actually see my friend, it was kind of similar to the situation you described. I do actually believe in ESP, there are several ex-military that claim to be able to do Remote Viewing, telepathy, and that sort of thing. I have had no lucid dreams of events before they had happened but only a few times.
Lucid dreaming really makes on question your reality, in a sense its a higher plain of existance in which the physical body is not needed and we create our own laws, essentially we are gods of our own dreamscape while lucid. Makes me think of the moive, What dreams may come, with Robin Williams and how cool it would be if thats what happened when we died.
Its the door way to ones subconcious and I believe we could use it for much deeper things that just having fun, such as self discovery or even developing ones ESP. |
