I think the reason for the different experiences in dreams is the fact that we all live in multiple dimensions but at exactly the same time. Its hard to understand/believe etc., but i think its 100% true.
its not that there is a different me in each dimension, but more like there is a million copies of myself and in each dimensions i understand what im doing relative to that dimension.

What happens in an OBE, is that you're body releases from the real world and you see the world as it really is, a multi-verse with higher energies.

The dreams were frequent and extremely intense - but as time progressed everyone just lost interest - I must admit during that time frame I did become extremely drained and tired - perhaps others in the group were feeling the same way ?

Posts like that make me want to jump up and shout Hell Yea ! .
I love it when I see someone say things like you just did . I've been saying stuff like this for years and everyone just gives me the .
Humans have been 'dumbed-down' for so long that I hardly ever meet anyone who is able to think in terms of what you just expressed .
Thank you , thank you , thank you ...

I haven't come across much to lead me to believe of multiple dimensions existing in parallel. Although there was one exception. A dream about this girl I was totally in love with, and I suddenly remembered other dreams (within that dream) where I was leading another life with her. When I woke up, I felt so bad that I could ever have forgotten about her. In 15 years of dream journaling, that was only 1 of 3 dreams that have left a major emotional impact on me.
I am fairly certain however that we each create our own individual universe while awake, just like in shared dreams. Especially once I understood how dream control works and how it applies to the waking world in exactly the same way it does to the dreaming world (but that's a topic for another thread). The only difference between waking reality and dreaming is the number of people we share it with.

I'm still not sure about the whole multi-verse thing, but I propose that dreams are an expression of duality particle/waveform duality. We have the waking world made up of solid particles, and the dream world is the waveform counterpart. I think a good metaphor for a waveform probability is an archetype.
According to physics, collapsing the waveform is done by observing it or focusing your attention on it. That's exactly what happens when you focus on an archetype in dreams (as I explained briefly above). Although they the term "collapsing the waveform" to me implies that it can only be collapsed once. From my dreaming experience, it can go off several time, much like a capacitor that gets charged up by focusing your attention on it. I need to ask some physicists if the capacitor analogy is more accurate than the collapsing one.

That's the first I've heard of that happening. I know a group of very active shared dreamers over on Dreamviews, and from what I can tell, they're picking up steam as they go.

Originally posted by destiny-fateThanks I checked that site out - Waking Nomad has some pretty intense dreams lol thought mine were jam packed full of detail ? Funny my lucid dreams mainly seem to consist of symbols or feelings certainly not as much detail as Waking Nomad's ? I will put it this way I would not be able to recount my dream in a story fashion like he does ?[edit on 17-4-2010 by destiny-fate]
Do you by any chance sleep on you left side? I have a theory that sleeping on your side causes increased blood flow into one half of the brain, causing that hemisphere to become dominant. Sleeping on you left side (right brain) leads to more abstract dreams, and sleeping on your right side (left brain) leads to more sequential action dreams. Basically the left brain right brain schism. (www.funderstanding.com...)
