Shared Dreaming
Ah, shared dreaming. But, too start this forum thread, I need information about this topic! Is there soon to be technology for shared dreaming? Is it even possible? Let's get this forum started!
What kind of technology, I wonder, could there be for this sort of thing? I guess it would have to be something no one has really thought of before.

I imagine the future to be a lot like inception. Only everybody is free. Its only when you find out you are dreaming you can twist reality.
Shared dreaming would be so kick ass. Video games would be a thing of the past, that's for sure. Actually, I'm pretty sure if dreaming became the phenomenon that Inception showed us the entertainment industry would be a veeery different place.
Technology may be able to instantly lock us into dreams together, but I would guess it be more probable to find a way to do it without technology first. I am not sure how the shared dreaming would work, there may be a lot of variables like would it have to be induced in the same physical time? I think the best way to find out would be to have someone to practice WILDs with at the same time and have one person be the "host", and the other be the "guest". Once I figure out WILD, scene changing, and leaving my own subconscious, I would be more than happy to try practicing with others here.

Ok...
Wow hard subject ... but here goes my thoughts about it. Shared dreaming should be something that correlate the dreaming meaning between 2 dreamers. Something that Jung called "Synchronicity" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity)

I imagine this is very possible. It is basically just a wireless connection of our brains. We just need to figure out where our dreams take place and then how to connect them.
It may seem science fiction, but even the radio seemed unreal when it was created. "You mean there are invisible waves that can be turned into sound?"
maybe technology isn't required, more of just mixing an O.B.E with a lucid dream :? anyone thinking about spritually sharing dreams? :|

Correct,technology is not required, it would just be a means of enhancing methods.

Wow, i think it would be great man, i think someday there will be one, nothing is really impossible. Many people having the same dream, so perfect!
I have read anecdotes of people doing this. It is definitely my long term goal to be able to OBE when I want to and try to meet with others who can do it at will as well.
Im no professional on much, but i personally beilive that shared dreaming would be impossible without any kind of technological link between the two minds. I don't beilive in all this spiritual stuff.

Depends on your definition of spiritual I suppose. I wouldn't say its spiritual to say your mind can exist in other realities outside of the physical.
We all overlook the fact that we do exist and dont seem suprised by this and I think that fact is the most amazing one and the most discounted

I agree Peter.

That's what I've been thinking about. If you can project your consciousness into you own subconscious or dreamscape, why couldn't you theoretically project your consciousness into your friends consciousness or dreamscape?
Get telepathy to work, you can get shared dreaming to work. Unfortunately, us humans and our minds capability at the moment in this evolutionary stage is unable to wirelessly communicate with other individuals at this moment. You would have to increase the use of power by our brain (we naturally only use roughly 10% of our brains capacity while awake, moreso while dreaming) several times, and in specific fields/areas of the brain (no scientist knows for sure which areas this would be, if it's even possible at all) - and that is a looong way off, if it even is possible in the future to occur naturally.
Personally, I think advances in neuroscience and neurotechnology/nanotechnology will allow us to experience shared dreaming sooner than naturally.
I personally think that shared dreaming would be impossible unless landscapes and physics are pre set. If people go around changing the dream for everybody, it could get frustrating. Someone might turn off gravity while another person is trying to swim in a pond.
I am a believer in science and logic. I do not think that anything short of a machine will allow people to share minds. I don't believe in spiritual or telepathic means. That's my opinion.

Entering the dreamers dream. Only they can control what their mind produces, the person who enters, would just be an observer.

I am like you, however, you have to admit that our minds are incredibly understudied and their true capabilities are not completely understood as of yet. It has been said that if our brains function at over 60% of their capacity (looong way off), then telepathy could be very real.
Everything you say makes perfect sense. It would just be way to weird though to have more than one person who can control a dream independantly. And I suppose telepathy MIGHT be possible. Maybe I'm just too skeptical of a person to understand. :D
the technology exist. don gotta buy it though. it's right there INSIDE of you. :twisted:
well... not INSIDE... I guess more like INSTEAD of you.
Shared dreaming can change the generation. Shared dreaming can benefit many people. Our subconsious mind is responsible for dreaming. We need to find a way to connect the subconsious minds and it is possible.
