The On-Off Tap of Dream Activity

[isis]

What I mean by caused by another: I watch all of the paranormal witness episodes & I've noticed it's very common for someone's dreams to be affected when they move into a house that's haunted so I've concluded others can be the cause of our dreams. When someone I don't think twice about gets in my dreams I usually suspect it's somehow their fault that they've managed to get in my dreams.

I've found (and this is simply my opinion based on my personal experiences) that we will often dream of others who are mentally dwelling on us heavily.  I didn't make the connection for a long time, but I can actually feel this in my waking state to lesser extent, and can oftentimes feel when somebody is really thinking about me.  I've even texted friends whom I felt doing this and asked them matter of factly why are they thinking about me (which they then confirmed).  I've learned not to do that, though, as people tend to find it a little disconcerting.  Idle thought doesn't register usually, but heavy thought feels to my perception like they keep entering my thoughts, and it is completely out of character to what I was thinking about.  So anyway, I believe subconsciously we always register when someone is thinking about us, and it often spills over into our less analytical time/space experiences at night (or day, for you vampires).  

This is actually exactly what I meant by "somehow" but just didn't feel like elaborating...so thank you for this post.

I'm made aware of it in my waking state too & I've also tested it before. I suspected I was sensing when a friend of mine was thinking (heavily) about me bc she kept popping in my mind when I felt she shouldn't have been, it was like I just knew I wasn't intentionally thinking of her, so I decided to email her hoping that she would confirm what I thought. Then, sure enough, her reply began with, "OMG. I was just thinking about you." I decided not to tell her I knew that, bc I didn't want to make her uncomfortable. I was fortunate she was comfortable with letting me know she had just been thinking of me.
