Other Peoples Dreams

And it turns out to be a few blips on a chart. So the "dream recordings" will probably come in the form of an underwhelming visual transcript — a graph with the odd squiggly line on it. Not that real dreams would make great movies anyway. For one thing, the continuity is all over the place. Even Greek television makes more sense than that.

And most of the time, they're not even that interesting. The majority of my dreams are unbelievably pedestrian. The world doesn't need a backup copy of that. There is no wrong answer. Look at it from all sides, take it in your hand, carry it about with you, let your imagination play round it, and talk about it with other people.

Brief introduction

The ascertainment of the meaning is, I need hardly point out, an entirely arbitrary affair, and this is where the hazards begin. Some people will be satisfied with little, for others much is still not enough. Also the meaning of the dream, or our interpretation of it, is largely dependent on the intentions of the interpreter, on what he expects the meaning to be or requires it to do. In eliciting the meaning he will involuntarily be guided by certain presuppositions, and it depends very much on the scrupulousness and honesty of the investigator whether he gains something by his interpretation or perhaps only becomes still more deeply entangled in his mistakes.

Before you proceed make sure you choose someone you know very well. Usually choosing an unwilling participant will not work.

The freewill of an individual may not allow certain interactions even while they are asleep. If they are comfortable enough with you interacting with them during their awaken state, then they should be able to allow you to interact with them during their passive, most vulnerable state.

So, for the purpose of experimenting with this technique, make sure that the person you are willing to interact with would allow it. Use your best judgement. Your own subconscious knows what you are doing is for good or bad, and any negativity automatically becomes prevented from being conveyed.

Post navigation

In a metaphorical sense, you can keep showing the person the door, but you cannot drag them through it. Influencing another is limited to what they allow or normally would do. If you wish to convey messages do it through symbols or by visually showing them. The dreamscape is entirely in your hands, you are the artist, and so begin by creating something vivid enough to convey a positive message.

How to enter someone's dream

If the person is stressed or depressed, create a magical landscape that leaves them in awe, see them feel and discover a deeper sense of amazement. Small little details go a long way. Show them that there is truly more to life that the mundane worries of everyday life, maybe in doing so they will want to seek out a new adventure or a new worthwhile path in life. Always maintain a sense of empathy. Be empathetic to their thoughts and feelings. Transitioning slowly, in small increments, is the best way to help an individual and to convey the message.

You are going to want to time this just right for the sake of experimentation. Make sure the person is asleep before proceeding. Calculate the time it takes for them to be in deep sleep. About 90 minutes after they fall asleep is when they reach the REM stage of sleep, which should give you the best results. Enter a deep state of meditation; relax every part of your body from your head down to your toes. Once you completely lose touch with the physical world around you noises especially and you feel as if you are floating in the void of space then proceed to the next step.

While floating in the void of space, feel your body as it remains completely relaxed and floating comfortably in absolute weightlessness.

Other people's dreams are boring – why would we want a machine that can record them?

Slowly begin to visualize the persons face within the blackness of space, and allow yourself to travel deep inside their imaginary world by piercing through the clouds of their subconscious. Look around this imaginary world until you find the person whose dream it is. Most likely they are within a passive acting role within the dream. In one, she dreams of a granite hotel where the staff rings a bell every time a large white caterpillar crawls over the furniture.

Another is night-time logic. In the story, Paul Linberl, a graduate student in ornithology at the University of Texas, meets a woman who claims that her family raised dodo birds in Northern Mississippi in the s.

Paul naturally finds this fascinating and impossible and embarks on a wild dodo chase in search of the extinct bird. While in pursuit of the dodo, he relates a vision he used to have before he struck out on this quest.

Reading this, I cannot help but recall the dwarf from Twin Peaks: In order to reconstruct the insight he had in his dream, Cooper has to first understand the night-time logic that underpins it. That means unlocking a series of clues. This is night-time logic at work: When I first watched the original series of Twin Peaks , I was in college and did not yet know the term night-time logic.

That came later, while studying the works of Kelly Link. She does this through deft and deceptively simple world building. At first glance, the passage seems merely utilitarian:
