A dream experienced simultaneously between two or more people is known as a shared dream. Some shared dreams are also prophetic, and they signal a world event to come. These dreams may happen within a short time span, often only a few days before the event actually happens. Other shared dreams are simpler — they may be something that you share with a friend. Later, both of you realize that you had the same dream.

Past-life dreams may be shared as well, often by members of the same family. These dreams can go unnoted for years, unless someone brings up the subject for discussion. One couple found they both had the same recurring dream of drowning. They eventually discovered that their son had been having the same dream.

Compare Your Dreams

Have you ever discussed your dreams with other family members or friends? If so, have you found any similarities between your dreams and theirs? If you have not brought up the subject of dreams, you may want to try it. Suggest that you and a friend keep dream journals and compare them. You might like to form a dream group and meet at specific times to discuss your dreams.

The Internet is an excellent way to share your dream experiences. There are many Web sites dedicated to dream sharing. You may be surprised when you begin to talk about dreams with friends or family members to discover that you may have been dreaming the same thing for quite a while.
