do dreams transfer and morph from person to person like a virus?, page 1

You may be onto something here, but don't have a clue what. A year or so ago, I had this dream of an earth depopulated and one scene was of this small town with some folks sitting around a table in the street, a shop right next to it where they made clothing, and inside was this happy woman with a fancy hat and trying on a dress like the 1800's. I wrote this down in my journal, but did not tell anyone.

Three months later, my wife tells me of this odd dream of the past, yet it was of the future. As she went through the dream, I remained silent, but chills went up my spine as she was telling the same dream with more details that I had had. Then she ended it inside the shop with the woman in a fancy hat. Yup, we share on some level.

Sailormoon gets a star because I am pretty much in solid agreement with everything in that post, but I think the key words in the op are "dream like no other". We've all had them, which is probably why we tend to dismiss them as "just another dream" - even when everything about them makes us (want to?) believe they're something more.

Why are some so much more vivid than others? Why do we seem to have varying levels of 'connectedness' to our dreams?

Is it just a matter of the pineal gizmo being more generous with "the good stuff" at some times rather than others?

I have experienced what Sailormoon is referring to, and think yourmaker is talking about the same thing, in a sense. That when you get close to someone, spend a lot of time with them, discussing the same subjects, you cultivate conditions conducive to "shared dreaming". How "inner" or "outer" you believe that is has to do with what you believe dreams are.

Personally, I think they are channels that our consciousnesses "tune" into when we sleep. I *suspect* that some of them can be shared - by any number of dreamers. I think this network exists on other levels of our consciousnesses too, so the idea of a "viral dream" - being perpetrated by those who might know how to manipulate this network - seems ABSOLUTELY plausible.

Good thread.
