A Shared Dream

Date of Dream: Friday 19 March 2010
Lucid?: Yes
Method Used: Accident
Description:
I had never really even considered the possibility of lucid dreaming, however accidentally experiencing a shared lucid dream the other day has opened my eyes to this enjoyable phenomena.
About a week ago, my "brother" (not blood, but we've been friends since we were both freshman in high school and have formed a very close emotional bond with each other) stayed the night at my place. That night, he was in my dream.
It started off on the beach.  Where exactly  the beach is I'm not sure, however.
I realized I was dreaming during the course of us walking down the beach, and I decided that since it was my dream, I could do what I wanted, and we should explore the nearby ocean. It was a phenomenal experience.  Unfortunately I can't remember most of.

The next day, he told me about HIS dream. He didn't have the best recall, but it was enough to convince me we shared a dream. We've shared dreams before, but this was the first time I ever went lucid during one, and I can't help but think if we're sharing the dream, and we both manage to go lucid, then maybe the 8 hours of sleep were supposed to get a night won't be quite so much of a waste xD

However, I'm still new to this whole thing. So.... here's to hoping I gain the ability to lucid dream at will, and once i do this hopefully I'll find some way to induce a shared dream ^_^ The emotional bond should make that part easier, although if there were a way to share dreams with anyone and go lucid (and telling the other person that it's a dream might be enough to induce lucid dreaming in the other party... I don't know) then life could get really interesting o_o
