Shared Lucid Dreaming Tutorial
I don't have a lot of experience with this, but I think I have enough
to write a tutorial. I honestly wish there were hundreds or thousands
of shared lucid dreamers on this site to learn from, but since Raven
Knight and I apparently are trailblazers, I am writing this because I
want all to experience the fun she and I have had doing shared dreaming, because we all know, fun rules.
But, an even greater goal is to have a shared lucid dream with you.
Imagine going to a dream concert with a bunch of lucid dreamers, and
the musicians are all playing dream instruments that don't exist in
waking life, and you can see the music.
Imagine, going on a quest to fight a badass monster together with five other dreamers.
Imagine being in a war of dreamers, and we all have superpowers.
Imagine co-writing a book in dreams with another dreamer by dreaming you are the two main characters.
Raven and I fought each other, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
Imagine healing someone's physical body in a lucid dream.
Imagine having a real person help you get over a phobia in a dream.
Imagine hugging someone you love in a dream, and they are the real person.
Imagine teaching a friend powers. Raven has taught me how to summon
weapons, and multiply myself. Next I am going to ask her to teach me
how to create portals.
Imagine getting taught a secret way of battling in dreams by your dream guide.
Imagine waking up every day in an amazing mood because you had awesome dream adventures all night.
Imagine becoming a superhero or god, or whatever alter ego you choose to battle in.
Imagine a Mech battle, where you opponents were other dreamers. Oo! That's a new one.
Imagine taking your girlfriend or boyfriend, on a dream date, and they
are actually in the dream with you. You could do whatever you want for
them.
One Dreamwalkers and Nightstalkers: I don't know if these "factions" are real.
I do believe you can heal in dreams, because I have received it. I do
believe other dreamers can make you afraid, cause you pain, bewilder
and confuse you, because this has happened to me also. I knew it was
not DC's because I would've not thought of the insane **** they did to
me when I fought them. I have not experienced physical pain ever.
Dream Battling is another tutorial I will write after this.
On making another person lucid: I don't know if this is possible, but
it suppose it is. I think it may be a lot harder to locate another
person if they are not lucid. When both people are lucid it's like
meeting halfway. I would still like to try this though.
Everything I write is based on personal experience, but the funny thing
is, it's also Raven Knight's experience, so we must be doing something
right.
1) Learn to WILD. WILD's are often easier to remember in my experience,
and it's easier to decide your location. If you are having trouble with
this tech, keep a dj, increase your dream recall, do reality checks
every time you walk through a doorway, and tell say out loud, "I am
dreaming" in your waking life all day.
2) Read the DJ of the person you want to have a shared lucid dream
with. If you think their DJ is kickass, then, you will probably vibe
with them. I think Raven Knight's Assassin's Creed entries are fucking
badass, though I am usually not in then.
3) PM them, and ask them to do shared lucid dreaming.
4) If they say yes, pick a meeting place. Raven and I meet on the moon.
We tried to meet at Stonehenge, but I got intercepted by Selene." class="inlineimg" border="0">
5) Be open to the possibility of other entities on the dream plane, that are not figments of your imagination.
6) You will encounter dream guides, spirit guides, lovers and friends
from past lives, and maybe other entities. I did not want to believe in
Selene. It didn't matter. She showed up in my dreams three times, and
then I finally had to admit she was real, because she persisted when I
ignored her. Now she is in all my shared lucid dreams.
7) Be open to wisdom shared with you by your dream guide. If you are
not open to the possibility that a dream guide exists, (whether your
Infinite Self, or a separate entity) you will not take it seriously,
and you will miss on wisdom or even knowledge of a secret magic. My
dream guide did teach me a secret magic, which I did not post, because
he told me not to. I say this not to brag, but I want everyone's dream
guide to teach them a secret magic.
Learn from the other dreamer. So far Raven has taught me how to
teleport and multiply myself also summoning weapons. Next, I learned
from her how to make a portal. She is mentoring me because she is much
more of an advanced dreamer. I am kind of sorry for her that there
isn't anyone that is more of an advanced lucid dreamer than her to
learn from. I suppose I could teach her to shapeshift, but I don't
think she's really interested.
9) Be open to magic. You will progressively learn a specific type of
magic based on your personal archetypes. It will all basically be based
on whatever you think is badass. If you think Mechs are badass, you
will change into or drive Mechs. I think the Greek and Hawaiian myths
are badass, so that's why I have powers (and adventures) of Greek
myths, such as shapeshifting, summoning beasts, and earth bending.
10) I don't know if the enemies we fight are real or DC's but learning
fighting techniques is just badass so why not. Learn how to fight. You
have to learn how to talk in dreams, breathe underwater, run super
fast, and leap in the air and fly. These are basics. During your waking
life, visualize yourself fighting in dreams. Imagine how you want to
fight. Imagine the badassery you want to perform that night.
11) You must maintain high lucidity by doing the exact thing that you
fear. If you are afraid to do something, say, "this is a dream," and do
it. This will constantly remind you that you are in a dream because you
are doing the impossible thing. I used to run like a lil beeyotch from
monsters, but, we recently killed the Vampire King.
12) Be open to the possibility of you or your partner forgetting the
dream. Do not be discouraged if one of you had a DJ entry, that the
other one has no recollection of. Example, Raven has no recollection,
of the Vampire King entry, and vise versa for her Star Wars entry, but
we have had shared lucid dreams before and after, so it probably
happened.
13) Continue to sharpen your LD skills in general.
14) Learn to have conversations in dreams. This will keep you lucid
because you need to think about what you are saying. The more advanced
dreamers can have complex conversations with DC's thus real people.
This will also greatly increase communication.
15) Have a general openminded attitude. If you have a lot of doubt, it
will make it harder for you to have a shared lucid dream, just like
doubt weakens ability to lucid dream, and weakens your powers in a
lucid dream. You have to believe you can do something, so you can
visualize it. When you can visualize something, it's like writing a
program for your brain to access in dreams.
16) Recognizing your friend: you do not need a picture. You will pick
up on their energy signature. That is why you need to read their DJ,
and get to know them, or something of their personality. I don't even
know what Raven Knight's face looks like in waking life.
Questions you may have:
1) Is shared lucid dreaming real?
In my experience yes.
2) Really?
See question 1.
My goal right now is to have at least three lucid dreamers in a shared dream, then go from there.
The reason I am posting this tutorial, is because I don't want this to
be a secret. I just want to share knowledge, because I think it should
be free. I want everyone that is interested to be able to do it,
because I passionately believe shared lucid dreaming is key to our
evolution as a species.
Some people will call us crazy, but I don't give a rat's ass, because I
have the time of my life almost every night when I go to sleep.
I want to have a shared lucid dream with the entire world, because I think then we could begin to have peace.
Imagine the entire world trying to solve a problem together in one great shared lucid dream.
Yes, that is my eventual goal, and I want to have a kickass time along the way doing it.
Please leave debates and arguments out of this. I don't really want to
waste time scrolling through posts of arguments. Please only ask
questions, or leave comments about your shared dreaming experiences
whether lucid or not.
A little history
Raven and I have been on the forums just a few weeks. I PM'ed her after
she made a post saying that she had done shared lucid dreaming, and did
people think she was crazy. I told her I did not for I did it once
myself, though the other person was not aware of me.
We decided to try shared lucid dreaming, and it worked the first time.
I was amazed, and it made me wake up. I decided to not be amazed, and
the dreams have gotten longer and longer.
I do not know what she looks like in waking life, so that's not
necessary. I sent her a video of me playing the didgeridoo, but we had
shared lucid's before that. We have not known each other before this,
but we were siblings in a past life.
Most of our communication is in dreams. We actually talk more in our
dreams than in PM's sometimes. We have only talked on the phone once.
The people you have shared lucids with will probably be people you knew
in past lives. You might as well be open to the possibility, because
you are going to be reminded of those past lives anyway.
I hope to get as many LD'ers as I can to learn shared lucid dreaming as
fast as they can, so I can LD with you, so I guess I kind of write this
for selfish reasons.
