Alright, so the background is that my boyfriend and I moved in together and are renting a house. He's 23 and has lived on a sailboat his entire life, and teaching him how to live in a house has been sort of a challenge. Another thing is that he gets spooked easily at night by sounds, and will get up to look around. |

What a coincidence. Who knows, it might have been a shared dream . |

I honestly don’t mean any offense to TygrHawk, but frankly I’m sick and tired of the continual use of “coincidence” to explain unusual events. This is the only quasi-scientific explanation that you will ever see. All the rest of their explanations center around calling these events “delusional”. And I think in most cases the simplest explanation is usually the one that the skeptic is most comfortable with, and not necessarily the correct one. |

No offense taken, Dust Mote -- you're certainly entitled to your opinion on the matter. And believe me, I would very much like to believe that sharing a dream is possible. I think it would be one of the coolest things to experience. I guess that in this particular case, the details were not specific enough to convince me that anything more astonishing than a coincidence occurred. But as I said in the first post, I'm not claiming that any other explanation is impossible, either. |

Let me give a really quite obvious explanation here... I don't see how the following explanation is "stretching" or even just trying to stray away from the fact that it was a "shared dream." |

its hard to say. i am certainly open to shared dreams, and other 'paranormal' experiences. |

A coincidence is often the most objective deduction, that is most likely why it is used in such cases. |

I realize that some people are saying that I could have just had a dream upon hearing someone pull into my driveway, but my question to that would be that I was having a lucid dream. If I was aware of my dream that I was driving around, how can it be possible that something that happened in real life to trigger that lucid dream? Does that happen? Remember, I'm still learning about *how* these types of dreams work, even though I've been having them for years, so do not take my comments as a lashing. |

hmm... what I think it could have been is that some one turned around in your driveway, you heard that from the real world, and started making things up to make sense of it in your dream eg the the 350Z. and your boyfriend was awake and heard the real car. I dunno, that's my theory. |

Now we know what happens to today when it becomes yesterday... It waits for them... the timekeepers of eternity!
I'll have to go with TygrHawk on this one: shared dreaming is more or less impossible if you look at it from a probabilistic point of view. Hell, shared dreaming is impossible whichever way you look at it. A coincidence. |

One day at work I looked up and saw a friend of mine walking towards me from across the room. My mind went blank and then I thought: “Fleetwood Mac”. |
