 |

I'm always curious as to how many people have viewed my public dreams. I thought it would be nice if there was something that showed you how many views your public dream has. Just a suggestion, what do you guys think?

Yeah, the community aspect of dream journals should be integrated more.

Yeah, that would be cool.
It would be also cool, if the public dreams that have new comments, would be featured. |

How about something that tags all the words in your dream and once its posted it says something like, "this many people have had dreams similar to this one". Because I e always wondered if people share the same dream.
Maybe you could tag specific words, places, people, and descriptions of your dream to narrow it down. What if one day someone had a dream and they or you were one of your or their characters. Hmmm |

@4amlucidity:
Shared dreams are considered to be untrue, non-existent, by science, so I'm sure it will be not implemented. People from the science world, would look at the providers of Lucidipedia, a little strange, especially at Tim.
If they would want to research shared dreaming, I'm sure they could find a way to start it, without publicly promoting the idea of shared dreaming. |

This is not entirely true. Volume 2 of The New Science of Dreaming (compiled by two well-known dream researchers) has an entire chapter on 'anomalous experiences' and dreams. Shared dreaming, telepathy and the like would fall under the umbrella of 'anomalous experiences'.
It is however true that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and that as of now, none of the evidence produced has been reproduced, but as far as I know, few have tried.
Personally, I still think the use of these experiences is marginal at best and don't lose any sleep over it.

That's why it is hard to prove shared dreaming? Or what did you mean by that, exactly? |

Yes, I agree that it would be hard to prove, and yes it may get looked at as strange, but lucid dreaming also seemed strange to many people, the only thing that changed that was a personal experience not because science accepted it. I wasn't 100% on the idea of ld until I had one. I was aware that it existed but could not believe until I experienced
Sure they could find a way to research it behind the scenes but why go through all of the trouble. Half the people I talk to don't lucid dream or believe in It . So let's say I find ten people that lucid dream, the odds of "creating " a shared dream seem a little crazy, but I'm not talking about trying to share a dream with a friend at will, I'm talking about "chance" , something that is not within our control. What if we have shared dreams with someone we don't know, they happen to be a lucid dreamer, and they just so happen to go to this site which is quite rare.
Lucidipedia is a perfect tool for this type of thing, it doesnt have to be research shared dreams and it doesn't have to prove shared dreaming, but who knows maybe it could. Please remember that without a beginning there can be no end, and no possible medium. |

I don't worry about it because whatever it may be, the consequences will be small for me personally.
It's hard to prove shared dreaming because we there is no known medium that can transport that type of information between two people. Science supposition is: "if you can't measure it either directly or indirectly, it doesn't exist". And as you may know, shared dreaming is kind of hard to measure, seeing as dreams themselves are already subjective as can be.
But we're getting off-topic here. If you want to discuss this further, you can create a topic in Exploration of the Dreamworld or Advanced Lucid Dreaming. This topic is for dream journal feedback.
Did I mention we should really get an autosave? Or at least forms that allow the browser to autosave? Because my browser autosaves EVERYWHERE, except on the dream journal.
