Sharing Dreams

[Dansk]

Have you ever had the same dream as someone else? A couple years ago I had a dream that my friend was in and the next day I was telling her about it and about half way through it she said that she had the same dream and even told me some things I hadn't told her yet. So has that ever happened to anyone else?

Yes.  I've done this, but I believe these shared dreams are individual private experiences linked by ESP.  So shared dreams are not quite the same as shared OBE experiences.  Just my opinion.  But I've done what you said!

I've have shared dreams/mutual dreams, shared OBE's, shared meshing dreams.  Catmeow is right on about these dreams being linked by ESP, but I prefer to the telepathy.  I think anyone who dedicates themselves into sharing dreams can do it but it needs to motivated, "connected" people.  Depends on how close the bond between the two people, or others if there is more than 2 participating.  Intent is important too.  

It's possible.

I share dreams with people telepathicly, but there's another thing that happens that feels very different.

I used to get pulled into other people's dreams when I was astral, until I learned what was happening.  I was part of a group of gifted people, and ALL of us were operating far beyond our capacities.

Different people in the group discovered that when they were stuck in their dreams they could pull me in and the dream (and the attendant problem) would come unstuck and resolve.  They started comparing notes without telling me and pretty soon I wasn't getting any rest at night, no matter how many hours I slept.

When we finally talked about it, we decided that it was a combination of four factors.  

1.  I had a strong and consistent icon identity within the group that really wasn't me, but was close enough to who I really am to form a "hook" into my energy signature -- similar but not the same as "the name is the thing"   That icon identity was shared by about 20 powerful people and was consistent through all of them.  

2.  Astral travel comes easier to me than staying in my body.  

3.  I had a committment to helping.  (That's gone now.)  

4.) The group and all the members had a lot of places where their emotional and intellectual needs were being met outside of their dreams.  Their unconscious minds just had the same leftover "need" that matched the icon identity the group assigned to me.  The consistency of the need and the icon across that many powerful people, locked it in even more tightly on my energy signature.  

I think this happens more often than people know to lots of different people.  I was just in an extreme circumstance at a time when I was surrounded by intelligent people who put the pieces together and then shared the info with me.

And now with you.  Ripples in a pond.

There's a third dream space where people who travel astrally sometimes meet in a place almost but not quite out of body and mix their dreams and the space they are in.  I have one friend who does that every time the etheric energy pattern kick up into high gear.  He instinctively wants to pull me in when he's there but (see above) I've learned to be a lot more resistant to that than I once was.

Although it's not quite the same as what you're describing, my boyfriend and I often share elements of dreams and can send things back and forth to each other if we try.  We're working on developing this ability.  It's interesting to see in the morning how our dreams connect, whether it's intentional or unintentional.
