Welcome to the Somniaforum.
If you're here, you probably found us through one of the original threads about the city - maybe Harlan's post about the statue, or a conversation with someone who's been there. This forum is for people who take these experiences seriously.
What We're Doing
We're trying to understand a shared persistent dream location. Multiple independent dreamers have reported visiting the same city - white buildings on a mountainside, looking out over the sea. A central district with colossal structures. A statue of a figure emerging from an ammonite shell.
We don't know what this place is. We don't know why we can all visit it. But we're going to find out.
The Boards
- Somnia: Everything about the city itself. Dream reports, mapping attempts, theories about what we're seeing.
- Resonance: Experiments in shared dreaming. Can we actually meet each other there? Can we pass information through dreams?
- Lucidity: Techniques for remembering dreams, becoming lucid, and controlling where you go. If you're new to lucid dreaming, start here.
Ground Rules
- Document everything. Date your dream journals. Be specific about what you saw. Don't embellish.
- Stay skeptical. We're not here to believe; we're here to understand. Question your own experiences. Welcome criticism of your interpretations.
- Respect disagreement. Some of us think the city is a genuine shared location. Others think it's a collective hallucination. Both views are welcome as long as they're engaged seriously.
- No new age woo. We're not interested in past lives, spirit guides, or astral projection frameworks unless you have something new to say. We're doing science here, even if it's weird science.
Looking forward to exploring with all of you.
