Recently, a woman asked me about that on my fanpage on Facebook because it had just happened to her and her daughter…

Dear Lauri,
My daughter ended up sleeping in my bed last night. We had the same exact dream. We went to a huge kid’s play land, the size of a large home. I couldn’t find her and I was going all over asking for help. There were so many kids. My daughter said, in her dream, she was at a play land and couldn’t find me. She was asking adults to help her. Can we have the same dream at the same time? – Candice 30, Salt Lake City

Lauri: Yes, two people can have the same dream on the same night. It’s called shared dreaming and it usually happens to two people who are very close: husband and wife, best friends, mother and daughter. The reason why is because the two individuals are dealing with the same issue and their subconscious responds to it similarly by giving them comparable dreams. That being said, is there anything going on in your waking lives that is pulling you away from your daughter that would cause the two of you to miss each other? Are you working too much? Is there a shared custody arrangement? Anything like that? When you search for someone in a dream it often means you miss them or miss something about them.

Candice replies: Yes! I have been working more hours & she is starting a private school in a few weeks. She is going from half day at school to full day at school. I’m a single parent so we are super close. Thank you.

Kinda makes sense now doesn’t it? Shared dreaming is a fascinating event and researchers believe it happens way more than we think, simply because 1. not everyone remembers their dreams and 2. not everyone reports what they dreamed to others. Sigh. If only more people would pay attention to and journal their dreams, the world would be a much cooler place.

Dear Lauri,
My 5 year old dreamed that he was on the deck with a friend and they noticed a horrible black cloud and they knew it meant danger. They had to jump on the CONCREEP and then he woke up, and came and got in the bed with me.
– Melissa 38, Minneapolis, MN

Lauri: Awe!  You gotta love kid language, huh?  Did your son get in trouble the day before the dream?  I ask because the dark, ominous cloud may represent – to him – a foreboding authority figure because the cloud, like a parent, it is above him.  And if he did get in said trouble, is it because he was doing something that was deemed dangerous?

Melissa replies: He had to get out of the pool yesterday because he couldn’t follow pool rules.  He had to watch his brother continue to swim without him! Maybe I did have an impact?

Lauri replies: You did, you big black cloud of parental authority!  And that is why he had to get on the concrete in the dream, because in real life he had to get out of the pool and stay on the concrete. Just goes to show you that when you think your kids aren’t listening, what you say does seep through.

You see? Melissa now knows that her discipline did make a difference because her son’s dream gave her a glimpse into his psyche. If you don’t already, I highly recommend you make a tradition of sharing your dreams every morning over the breakfast table.  It’s not only a fun way to start the day, but a wonderful way to stay plugged in to your child.
