Mutual Dreaming

Shared Dreams

Our dreams are normally as private as our thoughts. However when mutual dreaming takes place that is no longer true. Mutual dreams are dreams that are shared by two or more people.

Meshing

The level to which dreams are shared varies can vary tremendously. At its simplest, the dreamers simply share an emotion or perhaps a theme to their dreams - both might dream about, for example, childhood, or birds flying. These are known as meshing dreams.

Skeptics will often respond to such mutual dreams with the claim of "coincidence". Dreams are complex and varied enough that some overlap of dream symbolism is bound to happen from time to time. In addition, if two people are close and know each other well then it's quite likely that the same things will be on both their minds. Even if a topic or concern hasn't been openly discussed it might still present itself in their dreams.

Some people actively exploit this in order to induce mutual dreams. For example, they might watch a particular movie, discuss the story before bed and plan to dream about it. Even if there is nothing psychic or paranormal in this it is still an interesting experiment.

Meeting

More difficult to explain is the "advanced" form of mutual dreaming. Here, the dreams share not just vague felings and themes but specific, concrete details.

The most interesting forms of mutual dreams are meeting dreams. In these, each dreamer appears in the other's dreams and they sometimes communicate with each other and exchange information. There would appear to be no way of adequately explaining such an event without accepting the possibility of some form of psychic or psi power.
