887.0. "Wrong question in dreamland?" by TPVAX3::ROBBINS () Thu Oct 13 1988 15:44

              Me and my SO have just very recently started on the adven-
    ture of learning our psychic abilities.  I began and as I picked
    up bits of info from different books and tried different things
    instead of me growing my SO has all of a sudden flourished with
    it.  My guess is that he has become much more comfortable with
    accepting it from me showing such amazement and willingness to try.
    He's already convinced me that he is much more gifted then I ever
    would have dreamed and sometimes I do get a little envious :^).
    
             Now with that background (I thought it might be relevant)
    last night he had a disturbing dream.  I thought maybe some other
    noter has had such a dream or close to it.  In the dream he was
    back to being a little boy.  When he was small he would sleep with
    his father when he lived there with him.  They were in the bed but
    were watching in the doorway of the bedroom, furniture floating by 
    upwards.  As they watched a man appeared.  He appeared by walking
    through the wall, he wore a white coat, and approached right to
    the side of the bed.  The man then asked them "Did you see the massacre
    down the hall?".  In the dream my SO asked of him "What year is
    this?"  Upon that question the man just looked at him and shook
    his head and walked away.  At that point my SO had said his question
    out loud and that woke him from his sleep.  The other strange part
    was when my SO related the dream to me I knew what he was going
    to tell me the man's reaction was to his question.  I wanted to
    be sure I was right so asked him how the man looked when he shook
    his head.  The man wasn't upset or mad.  He just looked very
    disappointed and sad.  The dream seemed to be very familiar to me
    though I don't believe I've dreamt it.  I was just curious if anyone
    else has had a similar dream.

887.1Sort of a similar experienceJOKUR::PLOETZPaula PloetzTue Oct 18 1988 12:348
    I haven't had a similar dream, but about seven years ago, I was
    in college and had a SO.  One night, when we were sleeping together,
    we had the same dream!  That was amazing.  I know it is true, 
    because He told ME About it, and I knew what I had dreamed.
    
    Interesting, but I don't have a clue why.

887.2Cherokee dreamingSHRFAC::BRUNDIGETue Oct 18 1988 15:079
    To the Cherokee if two people have the same dream then they are
    connected spiritually. This connection is stronger than brother,
    sister, mother or father in that it is spiritual. The age or sex
    of the people does not matter. Also the content of the dream may
    not have any "meaning" to the people concerned.

887.3Synchronous dreams?LACV02::EHRHARDTCaminante, no hay camino...Sat Oct 29 1988 03:1519
    Scott Peck in his book, The_Road_less_Traveled, talks about the events
    discussed in the prior notes.  He states that it has been proven in
    laboratories that an awake individual can transmit images to a sleeping
    individual many rooms away.  He states that he has also experienced
    this; he picked up a sequence of images from a house guest that had
    dreamed the same sequence of images two nights previously.  He
    classifies these events as falling under the principles of
    synchronicity. 
    
    Re: .0-1
    Sounds good to me.  Imagine being so close to someone that you're
    tapping into the same dream!  You begin to wonder who's the one
    creating the dream.
    
    Re: .0
    Perhaps the "massacre down the hall" was referring to the
    vice-presidential debates.

    This is obviously a reference to the research done by Kripner, Ulman
    and others at the Miamedes (sp) Dream Resarch Lab in New York. 
    There methods and results may be found in the excellent, quite
    readable book: Dream Telepathy.  The critics have never adequately
    dealt with these experiments -- virtually all the criticisms have
    been based on statements which are easily refuted in terms of the
    records -- most of them quite obviously so from the easily available
    book mentioned above.
    
    The main weakness of these results is that few attempts have been
    made to directly, independently replicate them, and all have been
    on a much smaller scale with predictably more ambiguous outcomes.
    
    Chuck Honortons Ganzfeld experiments -- which use people in a
    relaxed, altered state of consciousness with vivid imagery rather
    than dreaming people -- is the most active, successful modern
    continuation of that research.
