Dream sharing is the process of documenting or discussing both night and daydreams with others. Dreams are novel but realistic simulations of waking social life.[1] One of the primary purposes of sharing dreams is entertainment.[2]
Dream sharing is a strategy that tests and strengthens the bond between people. A dream can be described as a calculated social interaction and a way to bring individuals closer together. Individuals choose to share dreams with those that they know well or want to know well.[2]
Dreams are a common denominator amongst humans of all nations and cultures. Increasing the rate of discussion regarding dreams leads to more understanding about the personality of someone otherwise difficult to connect with due to language or cultural barriers.[3]
