Can You Share a Dream with Someone Else?

Imagine this. You’re staying up late watching your favorite show, scrolling through your phone, or reading a book if you’re really trying to show off. And then next thing you know your eyes start to get heavy. A yawn creeps out and your brain starts to numb. One eye shuts..and then the next..and then before you know it you’re off in La La Land. You’re in a dream and it’s one of the weird ones. You know the one, public speaking with no pants, dead grandma scolding you off stage, while a random man you’ve never seen before sits in the corner and stares at you intensely. The next day you wake up and the dream begins to fog and fade as you go about your day. But then….you see him. The random man from the dream is in your real life, sitting across from you at a restaurant. And much to your surprise, he seems to recognize you too. He gets up, walks over, and says, “I think you were in my dream last night.” The mental mic has dropped. Along with your understanding of reality.
