Is shared dreaming a sin? (preferably mature Christians only)?

Just wondering if it borders on the occult or if it's ok because it's nothing like astral projection. And before you go saying it's a sin or it's perfectly fine, please do some research before answering... I want the most informed, unbiased answer as humanly possible. Thanks :)

Update:

What if I can't tell if it does or doesn't?

Update 2:

@ Repent and Believe: doesn't divination involve telling the future though?

Update 3:

@ kindness: I like your response... but I when I say "shared dreaming", I mean two people dreaming of the same thing and being able to interact within the dream.

    Well it depends. It's kinda like having visions, it can be from God or from Satan. It depends on the source of the shared dream. I would say if it just happens, like the way you can just get visions, then it's not bad, but if you attempt to share dream on purpose, I would be carful with the methods you are trying to use. If you do it by prayer, that's probably fine, but I would be careful of trying to instigate it through new age meditation or what-not.

    Talking about a dream as a conversational matter is something many of us do, That's okay. It becomes a problem when a person looks to their dreams as direction and insight as @ Jeremiah 29:8-9 also 1Cor 13:8, 2 Timothy 3:16,17 I hope these help you, as they have help me. But I want to Thank You for the fact that you wanted some research and the most informed, unbiased answer.

    I am not a mature Christian but There is No harm in exploring new horizons, or discovering new things. I am also trying to look at human auras and intuition. I experiment with my own self,

    Why would the creator of the universe and billions of stars care you if and another person share a dream?

    Source(s): Religion was started when people thought they were the only peoples on the planet and had no concept of the vastness of the universe.

    My messengers visit heaven to the throne of God but when they wake they are weak. I look after them with prayer

    No.

    Genesis 41

    11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

    12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.

    Yes, anything that doesn't glorify God is a sin.
