This is based off of the experiences of a friend of mine (we'll call her Jess), and her friend from college (we'll call him Joe).
The story behind this is that Joe and Jess began practicing lucid dreaming after seeing the movie Waking Life. In brief, Joe was the first to be successful, (using the "lightswitch" technique) experimenting with speaking to people, asking what it was like to be in his dream, in which from one person he received the reply "Actually I considered you to be in my dream right now." "We're all connected somehow." and when asking one person for their phone number to see if he could remember it when he awoke, the person replied "Unfortunately I can't do that, but I can tell you that the next time you'll see me again is in the moment of your death." Creepy.
Jess finally pulled this off, and surprisingly remembered to try everything Joe tried in his dream. One thing she did realize though is while she only had one person in mind she was looking for, she couldn't find him, or make him appear. Only later did she realize he was awake the entire night, and everyone she did see were asleep. Telling Joe this, he realized the same had applied to him in his dream.
Joe successfully lucid dreamt yet again, and saw his friend Jess sitting in his living room watching TV. He notices she looks really fucked up, completely drunk and very high basically not making a lot of sense when she spoke. He only finds out that Jess was drunk and high the night before and had only fallen asleep the next morning at six, the exact same time Joe was able to go back to sleep after waking up earlier, and without any idea of Jess' plans or activities that night.
They, and I, have developed a theory that we're connected through our dreams, as if it is a separate world, and that lucid dreaming plays a big part of this. Through lucid dreaming, there could be a possibility of communication or at least some kind of contact with other's dreams.
Does this seem plausible to any of you? Can anyone give some tips or advice that could help with this, or maybe provide some possible explanations or theories concerning this?
Hey, this isn't nearly as crazy as some of the shit I used to see on &TOTSE so I thought I'd throw it out there.
