But I received one from someone on here and it was VIVID to say the least.

[hamletincarnate]

did you know as you were dreaming that it was from someone else or did you find out afterthefact? also, did it creep you out that she/he did so? (as you can likely tell, i'm debating sending a dream to a friend).

thanks.

Well, what kind of a dream would you be sending? And would it be something that could possibly scare your friend? If they're open to that sort of thing, I don't see a problem with it, but some people can be really freaked out by it, especially if they had no prior warning.

Surprised me after I mentioned it, and she told me she could do that, YES! :lol:

Not exactly...but I did successfully send protective energy to a friend who was on a vision quest up in the mountains. I was using a technique which I learned in a Buddhism course @ Barnes & Noble University online, as well as visualizations I had studied in books on Shamanism and Wicca. You see, I pictured him traveling under a full moon and I envisioned the moon sending down a beam of energy, serving both as a beacon and a shield of protection. I spoke to him later about it, and he told me that he felt that the moon was protecting him...and at the time he had encountered a couple of guys on the trail whom he was nervous about, but he said he felt safe somehow. Because of the energy I had sent him. So I was finally able to focus my energies on something--usually I am bouncing off the walls--my energy going every which way. Never did that in a dream state though...

I have had a few times when a friend has told me they dreamed about me the night before, and described the dream and it's been MY dream. I know it sounds all "Nightmare on Elm Street" but I think I can sometimes draw people into my dreams. I'm not sure if I'm invading theirs or pulling them into mine but it's kind of freaky sometimes.

[Xander67]

well give me directions then, lol
maybe I will come visit your dreams in my dream adventures some night lol :)

[hamletincarnate]

my ex and i used to dream the same thing on the same night to a t....someone suggested to me that that is a characteristic of soulmatehood....we weren't trying, we'd just be talking about our dreams and stumble upon the coincidence. any thoughts?

[Xander67]

now there is an interesting thought...

I don't really think that has anything to do with being someone's soulmate. If that's the case, then I have a whoooole lot of soulmates out there. I think once you've been with someone, or just friends with someone for a long time, your personal energies become in tune with one another. That can lead to things such as dream sharing.

How do you send dreams?

I get that a lot with my brother.

Three nights in a row in the wee hours I called on an important person to heed the letter I was sending to him. Psychically he was sort of brusque and said, who are you and what are you doing in my dream? The letter was thrown out with the thousands of others he receives each week. I got the feeling that as he was an atheist and a literalist, my prayers didn't have a way to reach him.

Z. Budapest writes about her mother successfully contacting some people in their dreams, which is where I got the idea in the first place. The recipient also asked what she was doing in his dream.

I feel that on other occasions I've contacted people's spirits through focusing, not necessarily by dreams. I expect you should have a good reason for wanting to get into someone else's dreams.

Dextra's got the same take as me on the dream sharing thing; I don't think you can spend time with someone without getting some level of synchronicity going on.

I've done some dream stuff. I remember going into my sister's dream once but it was really weird. I was still awake during the process, but she was sleeping, which might be why I got the result I got. I used a purple-tinting lantern with stars on it (dreamy), a bottle with some residual apple juice (which she'd been drinking earlier) and some lavender, since I use lavender as a sort of between-the-worlds-of-reality-and-illusion thing. I went into the dream and tried to find a tree, and I grew a large purple apple like the lantern I was using, and I wanted to give it to her as a boon... think fairy boon type thing. She called me the next day asking if I'd done anything that night and I said yes; apparently in her dream she wandered into a cave filled with crystals, and I gave her a luminescent amethyst. I like how the conscious and dreaming minds got the point across, but had to change symbology from what I was consciously doing to what would work as a symbol in her mind. I'm pretty sure if I wanted to I could go back and find the same place... in my brain it just feels like two places overlapping, a tree on the side of a hill AND a cave at the same time. it's... odd. But I like it. :)

So that's how I did it, to answer the "how do you" question.

Oh yeah! Sometimes I'll try a wheel of time thing, where I envision everyone's dream as a thing of light in a field of nothing, and I just move to it and let it engulf me. Other times I treat dreams as a conglamorate of spirit realms, and I wander them until I find a place I'm looking for... it's kinda Princes of Amber meets Hawaiian Shamanism. Yaaaay. ;p

Is this whlst meditating?
Do you mean you actually had these items, or in your dream?

[hamletincarnate]

heh heh dream pirate! you're silly and good :)

[Hamelyn]

Heh, thanks Hamlet.

Macha: the items were real. A while back I read a definition of a circle as a "sacred place between the worlds," so I started experimenting with taking a section of real space and trying to navigate it with me when I "go" places. It's quite cool, if bizarre. The items- the juice bottle, the lantern/candleholder, and the lavender- that stuff was real. I was awake, meditating/praying/magicking... whatever you want to call it. She was at her house asleep. (I had the bottle cuz we'd spent the day together and bought juice at a hospital. Or was it a funeral home?)

Hope that answers the question. :)
