Is it possible?

Question

...for more than one person to share a dream with someone else? Do you believe our dreams connect us in an intimate way to the people we're dreaming about, even if they don't remember or vise versa? Have you ever controlled your own dream? Was this easy or hard? Was it very vivid? Have you ever actually felt physical contact in a dream? Do you often dream of the same thing/person over and over? Have things that happened in your dreams ever kind of "predicted" events that happened in real life?

Please give details, thank you for your time.

Answer 1

Lucid (directed) dreaming is possible with practice. Sharing dreams is more from shared current experience and hysterical identification. Recurrent dreams are common over a life time and reflect work on core conflicts. Our intimate contact with people in a dream is a wish—"in your dreams". The issues that we work on in dreams can become self-fullfilling prophecies that we act out..

Answer 2

Connectedness between dreamers and dreams eludes to Jungian theory. You may want to read his theories, specifically those regarding "collective consciousness"

You mention of controlling dreams is actually called Lucid Dreaming. Many authors, from antiquity onwards have made observations about this phenomena.

Tactile feelings in dreams are typically explained as incorporative events. External influences getting incorporated into our dreams which protect sleep. You may want to find something on Hartmann, perhaps his 1999 writings for more information.

Recurring dreams are common as well. Usually represents unresolved issues, but, dreams are very context specific, so not always an indicator of disresolution, per se.

Psychic, predictive occurences have been documented, but, have recently been empirically explained by paranormal scientists as temporal brain-based events. M. Persinger discusses these events at length in his 1980's work on the Biological Bases of God.

Answer 3

Yes to all of the above. I can control my dreams most times. It's kind of like exercise it's hard to do at first but as you get better at it it becomes easier. I have shared dreams with my family members from the same generation as me on several occasions. Once I rescued my cousin from a nightmare about a demon chasing her. Now that I think of it. It was usually not my dream but the relative's dream I was in. We grew up together and pretty much from birth until high school only played with each other. I have predicted deaths, pregnancies and other events via dreams. The most memorable was a conversation with my grandfather. He told me to take care of the family and always believe what my heart tells me. When I woke up I found out he had passed. My mother was with him.

Dreams can be programmed to an extent.. but for the most part a common disjointed dream is nothing more than the brain or subconscious mind deleting unwanted and unneeded information.. sometime they are in technicolor and sometimes in black and white.. too many people put too much stock into their dreams.. especially the bad ones.. most of them are disconnected thoughts.. they of course can be influenced by personal fears and hangups that are inbedded in the subconscious mind.. some are vivid and some are not.. and as I said most are just jumbled trash being spit out of the trash bin.. now, can they be influenced and programmed? yes.. remember, what you put into the subconscious mind will stay there so long as the conscious mind keeps it fresh.. what you program into the subconscious mind will become a part of the function of the subconscious.. in other words.. if a man consciously decides that he wants to die when he is forty five and that decision becomes a focal point in his everyday life.. then the subconscious mind will create a set of circumstances that will bring it to a reality.. thats why one wants to be very carefull of what they program in their computer.. if someone tells themself that they are going to be sad or sick and it is constant enough then eventually they will become sick and sad.. they have consciously caused the subconscious mind to program the actions that lead to the outcome.. if you go to bed and set your mind to dream of playing golf and you are not a golfer and you do it enough times.. the subconscious will eventually lead you to a golf sporting goods store.. As far as having physcial contact in a dream.. I personally have not experienced it and I doubt if anyone else has either.. reason being is that dreams are illusory. They are not physical. When a person dreams, their bodies are paralized so that they cannot act out the dreams.. this action by the brain can sometimes make people awaken in a jolt because their body attemted to physically react to the dream and they couldn't move.. so they have rare episodes of what is called a nightmare. The person may awaken and say they were in danger from something and couldn't run or defend themselves.. eventually the become conscious and are huffing and puffing and remember that they were in danger but couldn't move.. One must remember that the mind is an extremely powerful instrument and if it goes haywire then it can cause severe damage to the individual.. the brain is charged with the responsibility of self preservation and it will do what is required to keep the body from self mutilation during a dream..in answer to your question about predicting the future.. I don't believe that dreams do that.. is it possible? I have to say yes because of the natural intuitiveness of the mind.. I believe that there is a thing called psychic phenomina. The human brain also has the unique ability to project itself outside the body. Case in point.. some one enters into a building that they have never been in before, but they feel as though they have been there before.. that it all seems so familiar.. Deja Vu.. truth is that the mind actually projects your consciousness outside of your body and you are watching yourself entering the building as though you are watching a movie or tv.. since it is watching yourself do what you are doing.. then it seems to you that it has occured before.. why it happens or only at certain times.. I haven't the slightest idea.. but I do know it does.. the brain has an chemical that I believe is dopamine that allows it to screen out some outside influences.. surely there have been times when perhaps you were reading a book and the tv was own but you were in such deep concentration that you did not hear the audio or notice that someone else may have been talking to you.. the brain.. screened out the noise and you had to be nudged back to primary consciousness.. someone may say that I have been talking to you for five minutes but you didn't hear me.. yes that is the truth.. the brain locked them out... it also is the action of the brain that allows you to hear someone talk to you even if you are in a loud crowded room.. Perhaps I have been a little wordy and if so I apologize.. but you ask a very complicated question and I have tried to give you as much of my knowledge as possible.. there is much more but.. I don't think there is enough time or room to hold it all.. The mind is, as I said, a very interesting and powerful tool.. don't be suprised by what it does.. I'm not.

definite and as quickly as that's rebuilt it is going to likely be better than it grew to become into in the previous. The memory of having via undesirable situations would be a area of your shared history and convey you closer interior the top.
