Visiting people in their dreams

I recently had a dream in which I ended up in someone else's dream. I'm not sure if it was just something I randomely dreamped, or whether I really did end up in someone's dream. But I knew I was asleep, and I exeted the dream at will. I remember waking up out of that dream and thinking "woa". But I can't remember if I really woke up, or if it was a dream within a dream. What's your thoughts?

 

Conscious dreaming.. you probably did what you think you did.. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Lucid dreaming, I’m sure you have heard of this.. so lucidity means to be "present" or "conscious" or "aware of"
When we become aware of the moment we are experiencing, then we become present.

becoming present in every day life means making conscious choices.

we can also do this in our dream realm.. so becoming aware we are dreaming and "consciously choose to change, or shift how we feel about what we are experiencing and some times even shift what we are experiencing in that moment"

What you experienced is very real indeed.. and you can choose to explore the conscious dream realm further if you like.

Simply just set an intention before you go to bed

 

I've experienced lucid dreaming before several times, most of the times I was having a bad dream or perhaps a "bored" dream and then I'd realize in my sleep that I'm dreaming and tell myself to wake up - then I would.

 

Thank you for your thoughts. I'm able to control my dreams, when I'm aware that I'm asleep. In fact, sometimes I work out story plots when I'm asleep. My dreams act like a stage to act out the plot. But that was the first time I ended up in someone else's dream. I'm not sure how I did it. I kind of hope I can figure it out. (Of course, it'll have to be while I'm asleep.

 

Audrina, you might be very interested in a book called The Eagles Gift, by Carlos Castaneda. There is a lot in there about experiences of "dreaming together," for what it's worth.

 

I've never visited anyone, as far as I know, but a few dead people have visited me.

 

These types of dreams are normal, Audrina, and happen to me often. When it does happen I usualy end up in the dream of a close friend of mine and interact with them. My friends often come to me the next day wandering why I decided to barge into their dreams. I unfortunatly do not do this of my own free will, that I know, and know little of how it happens. One minute i'm in my dream, the next i'm chatting with a good friend in a dream of theirs.

Now for my question did you know the person in the other dream?

 

Same advice for you as for Audrina: Check out The Eagles Gift, by Carlos Castaneda, for you dreamers--I'm not a dreamer, I'm a stalker. LOL Different definition of "stalker"--again, check out Castaneda's book for the explanation.

 

I often ask for a specific dream to gain understanding around
a matter, epsecially when an person is being elusive.....

The person often then comes into my dream..albeit the answers
can be pretty ambiguous, i do eventually gain some clarity around
the messagse pertained therein...

Ask and it shall be given...

 

BTW sexbanshee - very interesting point, and I'm going to try your technique sometime - thank you!

It so happens that I had an interesting dream last night - not exactly along the lines of this thread, but interesting enough to throw in here, I think, if you'll bear with me.

As background: I have regular, ongoing conversations with other people in my mind, as some of you know who have read my other postings. These are real people, and a couple of them have even shown me out loud, face to face, that they are truly having these conversations with me. Occasionally the presence of an all-too-human being with human foibles in my mind has caused me some distress.

So for the dream: This morning I dreamed that there was a guy who was trying to get into my mind. In my dream I saw his spirit as a grim, ghostly figure dressed in ragged, black, shroud-like robes. This spirit flung itself at me wildly and aggressively, trying to enter my mind. It was very scary, and could have easily turned my dream into a nightmare. However I consciously calmed myself in my dream, and held firmly onto the knowledge that if I willed the spirit to depart, it could not enter me. As soon as I had this thought, the spirit vanished.

Then in the dream, I spoke out loud, face to face with the guy whose spirit I had dispelled. I told him that I had rejected his spirit. I wasn't angry, in fact I made a little joke out of it, so that even though he started out looking angry at me, he quickly changed to a friendly attitude. I told him then that it wasn't that I had a problem with people sharing my body. I said that I already have someone sharing my body.

Then I woke up.

No, I don't know who this guy is. He was a young man with longish medium-brown hair, no facial hair. I've never seen him before. Is it one of you folks on this forum??? LOL

 

Wow zen

That is amazing!!!

Sounds like you have a pretty powerful energy going on there...

It felt as though you have reached a point in your life where you are taking
control too....

Very very positive vibe...

Well done!!!!!!

 

Thank you, angel.

Maybe all this hell I've been through for the last few years is giving me a payoff.

 

how long ago was this dream of yours? about 2-3 weeks? and his hair was shoulder length? If so I think I've seen him running around my dreams as well, he's pretty cool i guess, but he's very insisting.

 

You are welcome zen

Give it a couple of years and you will be flying it...

Isnt it around aged 56 we go through our second Saturn return...
it is supposedly a very confident and rewarding time for some...

His hair wasn't what I would call shoulder-length--just down to his ears on the sides, parted down the middle, a bit long in the back. It was Sunday morning that I had this dream--April 1st. But yes, he was very insisting, until I conversed with him. Pretty cool? Hmmm Shinigami...are you into controlling types? (Ponder) Controlling types have been a major part of my spiritual lessons the last few years, and I no longer tolerate their insistence.

 

My first angel (witch?) told me mentally "ten years"--that was in ummm 2000. It's been seven years so far. I thought she must be exaggerating, but apparently not.

I am definitely not flying yet--I still piss myself off big-time all too frequently. But I'm grateful for your encouragement.

 

Well that sounds like the guy but he wasnt controling after I sent him whirling through my dream, he was pretty sobered by that experience I think. After that he was pretty cool, a little anoying but a cool customer none the less.

Oh and unless its a girl that I love and trust, no I dont like controling types.

 

castaneda wrote a book called "the art of dreaming" and would be more loaded with dreaming information than the eagles gift. its really his only book i find worth reading. i tend to think alot of his stories are just stories, but he does know a bit about dreaming.

 

Well oKAY then, Shinigami! And good for you! It appears that Monsieur Le Cool, whoever he is, is getting some interpersonal revelations! LOL

Regarding controlling types: Try being married to one for a few years. It's a valuable spiritual lesson that I think everyone should experience. LOL Yes, I have certainly learned some things about becoming one with the energy of a brick wall. LMAO

 

To each their own, Archemetis--I am fascinated by real-life experiences in the realm of the supernatural. I know that there are lots of folks who think Castaneda was telling some made-up stories, however I just don't buy it--seems like denial and wishful thinking to me. Maybe that's cuz there are lots of folks who think I'm out of my stinkin' skull for believing that some of my experiences really happened; and obviously they did happen, no matter what anyone else thinks.

At any rate, I must confess that my interest in Castaneda's newer writings faded after his death, and I wasn't aware of the book you mentioned. Since you recommend it so highly, I'll try to check it out next time I'm at B&N.
