Hi,

That is not possible with OOTB SharePoint..

If you have a developer at hand, you could create a new field type where that is possible.

If you don't have a developer, you have some alternatives:

- add 3 or 5 date fields to the page, so people can add up to 3 or 5 dates

- let the user write down dates in a multiline text field

- ...

Have to confirm what Marijn has said, you'll need custom code to acheive this, if you were to add multiple dates to a field, you'll lose the ability to do any calculations with workflow etc on those fields.  Adding more fields is the way I would go.
