    I don't see how anyone could know with certainty.

    Who is an expert on how a "same dream" is specifically defined?

    It may be that it is possible to spectate someones dream but not actually be in it
    or have it identically. What if one dreams it in B & W and another is dreaming it
    in color?

    Being some are surreal and others subtile how can anyone know exactly what the
    other is dreaming/experiencing?

    I'm certain I have had some that were in ancient periods but obviously have not
    been there. Was it someone elses dream, memory or experience . . . . who knows?

    Thanks for your posts. Hows about Gandalf, has anyone seen him in any of your dreams?

    Actually that's quite wrong.
    I've dreamt the same dream as my sis did a several times.
    She is 8 years older and lives in London, I live in Latvia, but we are very close and alike.

    So, we talk through yahoo messenger almost each day and several times (some 5 or 6) we found out that we were having the same dream.
    That is: we were at the same location and there were the same people for both of us, but we didn't see each other. We each dreamt the same place, the same people and their actions, but each from our own perspective and also did different things, we had different reaction to the same evens.
    For example:

    we both saw broken stairs in the house we both know, then we took the elevator and gone up, the elevator there freezes. So we somehow get out
    In that dream I went left and found a bar/pub in the attic, she managed to get herself down the broken stairs on her own from the top floor where the elevator froze.
    That is just one dream.

    Interestingly enough that happened the same night or a night later or before, the interval at which we saw the same dream.

    actually, that is what is called a "self-fulfilling prophecy."

    What? lol! There's no prophecy, just occasionally the same dreamworld for two persons. I don't care with what fancy names people label that.

    p.s. even if prophecies were true, they are worthless, because things will happen you know about them or not.

    How can you call it a self-fulfilling prophecy if they dreamed the same world on the same night, or if they didn't tell each other of the dreams until both of them saw it? Besides, what difference does it make at this point, as long as they dreamed up identical settings?

    There is no evidence to suggest this is possible.

    If there is, I would like to see it.

    MANY people would like to see it.

    Testimony is not evidence in science.

    How do you suggest to prove it otherway than through testimony, lol?
    Spend every night with a brainwave scan attached? Fuck science then!
    I better dream.

    Well, it's pretty clear where you stand on the issue. Considering this is a scientific question with an answer that can only be proved true scientifically, I suppose you can stop posting now.

    How about the large number of people that dream and forsee events happening before it has happened.

    Such as, mothers that can sense wether their children are in danger, wether they are awake or asleep.
    That is proof of the super-natural subconciousness.

    I can understand that mothers worry anyway and it might just be a coincidence, but, there are too many repeated prooven cases that connect with the exact description of the event that happened.

    I've had it before aswell, and I am dead sure I knew what I was seeing was exactly what happened.
    >> I was sitting on my bed and facing towards my door, when I imgained my black cat walked passed and streched whilst walking pass the view through the door.
    30 seconds later he did the exact, and I mean EXACT, same thing as I imagined.

    And that was the proof in the pudding for me !

    If two people know each other and have experienced similar things together and share a lot in common, like brothers and sisters, then it makes sense that they may dream in a similar manner. Just typical psychology.

    Can you actually falsify the claim of common dreams?

    I've witnessed a common aspect in this forum that applies to most arenas.
    There are participants and spectators.

    I don't think either group have chosen their role but can easily be identified.
