Dreaming similar contents intentionally: an empirical evidence

The aim of this study was to verify, for the first time, whether it was possible to intentionally share the contents of dreams in a selected group of people following specific training.The results obtained by the five participants in this study in three series of five sessions of three days each, for a total of 45 days, demonstrate that it is possible to achieve this result.The number of common contents observed through self-assessment and two AI software was on average 5.5 items, with a range from 2 to 10.Even a choice between five options of the image that contained the most common elements with dreams revealed a 60% agreement between the participants' choices and those of two independent judges.Finally, the comparison between the number of common contents among the dreams collected on the fifteen nights of the third series, compared to those observed in the same number of control nights (different among the participants), highlighted an average of 1.4 more common content on the first.The findings of this study suggest that participants were able to activate a condition of mental connection in the dream state by intentionally managing to share similar content.
