From The Cover
There is no experience as uniquely intimate as having a dream with another
person. Incredible, but very real, the phenomenon of sharing the same dream
with one or more people is much more common than we might think - and also
extremely revealing about the way the subconscious works and sends us its
messages.
Mutual Dreaming leads us on an astonishing voyage of discovery.
With dozens of extraordinary anecdotes and true-life stories, we'll find
that mutual dreams can take any form - from erotic dreams, to terrifying
nightmares to dreams of mystifying encounters with strangers. We will learn
how to recognize and understand, decode and gain insight from mutual dreams.
We can even learn how to incubate mutual dreams with another person - or
more than one person.
Linda Lane Magallón has invested more than a decade of field
research in the area of mutual dreaming. Now an internationally know authority
on the subject, she has been socially active in the dream-work community
since 1984. Her accomplishments include membership on the founding board
of the multidisciplinary Association for the Study of Dreams, co-founding
the regional Bay Area Dreamworkers Group and serving as publisher of the
foremost dream community journal, Dream Network. Ms. Magallón
also makes presentations on the topic of mutual dreaming to international
audiences, and regularly conducts dream projects that emphasize group participation.
"Mutual Dreaming is an outstanding work in an enormously
promising area of human ability." Rick Stack, Author of Out
of Body Adventures
"I admire the effort Linda Lane Magallón has made to explore
the much neglected and still quite mysterious area of mutual dreams."
Montague Ullman, Author of Working with Dreams and Co-author
Dream Telepathy
"In her provocative work Mutual Dreaming, Linda Lane Magallón
has described a dimension of dreams that will enhance the person-to-person
communication of her readers. This book is both visionary and practical.
Its vision is one of expanded human capacities; its practice consists of
instructions on how two or more people can attain nocturnal intimacy."
Stanley Krippner, Co-Author of Dreamworking and Dream Telepathy
"It is an extremely well documented book on the too often neglected
area of the shared dreamscape. It offers new insights and techniques from
both classical and modern perspectives on how to access this usually hidden
dimension of human existence. Rich in detail from a variety of sources
and honest in the interpretation of results, it makes a real contribution
to the field for both layman and professional alike. I loved having my
mind expanded and I think others will too." Edward Bruce Bynam,
Author of The Family Unconscious and Families and the Interpretation
of Dreams
"Linda has written an original and engaging study of a subject
that's not easy to do well. It's fascinating and fun, and I like how she
writes with such obvious love for the wise and rumply nature of consciousness.
It had the immediate effect of turning my own dream recall on full blast!"
Sue Watkins, Author of Conversations with Seth and Dreaming
Myself, Dreaming A Town
"The idea of shared dreams is profound, not only as a tool for
personal growth, but also as testimony to a new world view in which we
are no longer separate from each other, like Newtonian billiard balls,
but are profoundly interconnected, like quantum probability waves. Linda
Lane Magallón's book is really the first major treatment of this
fascinating subject, and I believe it will be regarded as a standard text
for many years to come. I highly recommend it." Jeffrey Mishlove,
Host of Thinking Allowed public television series

- #418 MUTUAL DREAMING,
- Part 1: Shared Dreams
- Linda Lane Magallón
Linda Lane Magallón, author of Mutual Dreaming, is a founding
member of the Association for the Study of Dreams. Here she suggests that
people can learn how to create mutual dreams. In "meshing" dreams,
people experience the same dream environments. In "shared" dreams,
they can actually experience each other in the dreams. Often when groups
form for this purpose, their initial dreams will be negative in nature.
However, such groups soon learn how to clean up the dream environment to
experience more creative dream states.

- #419 MUTUAL DREAMING,
- Part 2: The Fly-By-Night Club
- Linda Lane Magallón
Here Linda Lane Magallón points out that mutual dreaming need
not be based upon the psychotherapeutic model. Instead, there can be a
sense of celebration, exploration and creativity. Often when groups come
together to learn mutual dreaming, they develop mutual dreams of flying
together. Some spiritual traditions suggest that dream groups can build
dream cities together in a fashion analogous to the worldwide web.
