Expert: Renee Aun Date: 4/14/2008 Subject: a simultaneous dream
Question Last night my wife and I both had dreams that were almost exactly alike. Today I've done some research online about this, and I read a question and answer on your website pertaining to simultaneous dreams.
Regardless of weither or not this is of any imporatance, My wife is of Mayan/Spanish heritage from Guatemala, and I am mostly Nordic/Anglo with between 1/16 to 1/8 Southwestern Native blood, born and raised in Texas.
Last night neither of us made any attempt to have a Lucid Dream, although I have done so in the past and have even experimented with different teas and meditations to conjure such an event. Last nights' dreams however, seemed to have come from out of the blue.
Yesterday was very peaceful. We spent time in the park with our niece and ate home cooked food. Overall it was a pleasant day, but our dreams were all but that.
These simultaneous dreams we had were some of the most violent, wicked, and frightening dreams either of us have ever had, and it was also the first time we have ever had almost the exact same dream during the same night.
Any insight would be wonderful!

Answer Hi Doyle,
Dreams are said to be ways that the brain deals with the problems it encounters during the day. It has been discovered that students do better on tests if they study before sleeping.
I am not an expert in dreams. All I can suggest is that something that was presented to you both in the conscious state during the day, caused your brains to react similarly that night.
