What?
You shared a lingering look and assume he had the same dream as you?

Your question would be a lot easier to understand if you used some more punctuation and good grammar, by the way.

Yes, I believe so. I crashed at my buddies place one night, and in the morning I was telling him about the dream I had that he was in, and he said: “No way, that’s crazy! I had the same dream with you in it!”. He had no reason to lie, so yeah I guess it is possible.

Sure why not.

Two people have the same intense experience. Let’s say they went to the Circus.
They go to bed and dream about the Circus?

Is that considered the same dream?

Welcome to the collective. Please try to supply more context for your question in the Details section.

Sure, many people can dream of winning Olympic Gold Medals one day or playing in the big leagues. (See dream has more than one meaning.)

If you mean sleep dream, there is no way to know. Unless you could be inside someone’s head, you have no way of knowing if what they are describing looked and felt like what you experienced. Given the relationship between dreams and the subconscious, it seems unlikely that two people would experience an identical dream.

It seems like it is surely possible. It also seems like it is relatively rare.
