1 Dream 3 People

[wisp]

AP,
Good dream experience. A common phrase for this is called dream sharing or mutual dreaming. It does happen from what I hear. One theory is that this kind of thing can happen if the persons involved have a mutual problem or dilemma. What food is involved? Just the fact it is about food makes me think about it being a "consumption" or a "taking in" issue. Something to be, or not to be digested (accepted, believing something, etc.). This shared dream is suppose to result in a benefit to all participants (thought to be the reason the dream is shared).
My personal opinion is that is better to be the one doing the chasing, than being the one being chased. This may mean you have an upper hand on this issue being played out. []Or...on a negative,you're being the aggressor.
What mutual interest or issue do the three of you have?
There's more questions, too bad I'm not well informed in mutual dreaming. If I run into any info in books or internet sites, I'll place it here.

Though I may be off, it seems I've read these kind of dreams have an emotional basis. In this case, anger perhaps.

Since your dream took place in a gym setting, I would think about competition,strength, relays,control or power issues, just to name a few. This dream taking place outside the gym, may mean your in a hallway, a place of transition. Any more ideas come to mind?

I forgot but remembered that morning I had dreampt of fishing and in T's dream I threw a fish in a mail box.  Also what was funny is that in my dream fishing was illegal and in my mom's dream book it said that a U.S. Mailbox means that you will be in an activity considered illegal by others.  T's dream seemed slightly related to a show that we both are semi-obsessed with.  And with E I don't know, maybe he did just make it up.  As far as the me having the upper hand in a transition conserning strength and power that could have to do with some serious working out I've started.  Over the last weekend I jogged a total of 5 hours 30 minutes and I'm not sure how much I lifted weights.  I thought that was pretty good.  Also on a side note this has gotten me into lucid dreaming.  Sounds like it could be real fun.

Dreams of fishing have usually a good meaning. The water out of which you fish is your unconscious (the unconscious part of yourself) and the fish obviously (and usually) represents something coming straight from there (from the unconscious part of your mind), something that sits deep in you. The fact that the fish was put into a mail box addressed to someone else, means that it is a message from you unconscious for someone else, such as for example a feeling for someone (a good one or a bad one). Illegal fishing means that your subconscious (the barrier between the conscious part of you and the unconscious part of you) does not allowed for messages to pass from your unconscious to your conscious. These unconscious messages can be anything, and it is up to you to find out whether there is anything that could fit this description. There is not enough details for me to say more.

The interesting part is that it is about a few persons apparently having a common dream.

shaman, you're killing me...   really.   You're killing me.  APguy, only you can really tell if you are experiencing "dream sharing" or what I like to call "having a dream with another person"  (I hate "buzzwords").  Nothing in your dreams "represent" anything other than what you have the power to discern yourself.  Do not, and I say again DO NOT  let these uber-freaks tell you that something in your dream means anything.  They do not know you.  Only you can know you.  Practice naming, to yourself, the different things you are aware of during the day.  A car honks its horn, a light flashes in the corner of your eye, etc.  The conscious practice of this will increase your awareness, and with a desire to lucid dream you will naturally become more aware in your dreams (to the point of lucidity).  Then, with more awareness, you'll recognize the fact that you knew already what an event in your life meant to you and that your dreams only help to literally portray those meanings in a vivid and wonderfully sculptured dream-landscape.  Have fun, be honest with yourself, and be objective about reality.  Don't let these "Goth-freak-Dungeons and Dragons-morons" turn this into some subjective unreality.  God I'm so tired of them.  Really...  I am.

What is an uber-freak? What does Dungeon and Dragons have to do with dreams? I'm not familiar with it.

No one is trying to tell anyone what or how to think about dreams. It's ideas and how one can look at a dream. There's many ways, symbology is a choice for me.

Dungeons and Dragons is a fantasy role playing game that a lot of younger people like to play.  In the town that I grew up in these people would allow this game to become reality, and people actually died from the games influence.  So, I have a strong emotional reaction to concepts similar to those held by the kids I knew that played that game and went to medieval festivals.  They thought they knew everything and that they were the masters of an "Astral landscape" but they were simply living in a world of fantasy.  To me, and I could be wrong, your's and Shaman's responses have sounded like these Gothic psycho-freaks ideas.  There's nothing at all new with what you're saying.  People have been trying to interpret dreams for millenia.  They've never been very helpful.  I'm simply trying to get everyone to be objective about the pure experience, and not add any pre-influenced rhetoric.  Again, I'm sorry for being so blunt, but try to understand that I believe there is a better way to understand our consciousness in dreams other than the generalities afforded by so-called "Dream interpretations".  Be literal.  Be scientific.

kozzi,
No, a game is not responsible for a person's death. The person is responsible for his/her death. If you believe someone or something else is responsible, your like so many others. This false belief is behind a lot of the out of control quick grab for cash lawsuits going on now a days. I'll bet there has been people who has brought a lawsuit against this company, right? If so, was money made off these deaths?

Of the various ways to take dreams, literal is included. There is a humorous aspect to literal interpretations. You most likely will miss this because you hold a grudge. Maybe you can experience it in the astral, but your blocking yourself in the physical. By block I don't mean this as an insult. Blocks are common things looked for in dream study, blocks are normal. As a person progresses these blocks are removed, or at least replaced with another easier to lift block.Sometimes I can tell a lot about a person by their dream. The fewer the blocks, the easier it is to attempt a take on a person's dream. People are truthful in their dreams. People who write down their dreams are more aware of their interest in progressing. Unless of course, that person is experimenting with other things, or they haven't discovered the benefits of writing out their dreams.

There are endless things to discuss with dreams. One of the dilemmas about dreams is about thought creation. I believe we create our reality by first dreaming it. But, the way we are and what we do on a daily waking basis can shape our dreams. The mind is the ally. If the right signs can be heeded, the mind will steer everything in the right (correct) direction. You can trick the mechanical part of the brain. Hopefully one can learn how to separate good moves from bad moves.  

Dreams can be fun, in turn, life can be fun.

Kozzi,

-1) read what I wrote: "These unconscious messages can be anything, and it is up to you to find out whether there is anything that could fit this description. There is not enough details for me to say more."

The only person to give the real interpretation of a dream is the dreamer her/himself ONLY, since the experience is for that person only.

-2) You wrote: "Be literal. Be scientific."
The science of intepreting dreams is part of psychology and psychanalyze and I based what I wrote on that, not on a "one cent phylosophy", since I do not have any such phylosophy. It is one way of getting there, "interpretation of dreams".

-3) Believe it or not, interpretation of dreams work many times. It does not work for every dream or every person, but it works.


-4) What is your point of view? What do you do with dreams? What do you think they are? How many different kind of dreams are they?

Shaman The Dreamer

I was wondering if anyone has shared a dream with anyone else.  Today at school my one friend who I will call T had a dream where let's just say I did hostile things to him and one aquaintance of mine/friend of his we'll call E.  Now what's interesting is him saying this reminded me of a short dream I had last night where it showed me in what looked like the school outside the gym (which is where the main occurences took place in his dream) and I had an angry look on my face like I could have done these hostile things shortly after.  Then E said that he remembers something similar to what happened.  Now I don't doubt the possibility of a coincidence or that E is lying, however I understand that it is unlike E to lie.  I will go into more detail if needed like for example in both E and T's memory there was food involved in an odd way.  In my case I only remembered pieces like the hostile look and I think I remember the blurring of high speed running.
I just figured I'd post this because I found it interesting.  Feel free to give any information or comments you like.[|)]
