Recently I dreamt that I was going on holiday with my late husband, we were going to Portugal. We were at the airport and a few things took place which on remembering the dream (vividly) I could take messages from. The next morning when I spoke to my daughter on the phone and told her about my dream she said she had cold shivers as she'd dreamt that same night that her dad and I were on holiday in Portugal, the place we'd visited on our last holiday together.

A few weeks ago I dreamt that I climbed a ladder and at the top was a new-age shop called "Forget me Not". That same night my daughter saw in a dream a picture of the forget-me-not flowers she has in her garden. (I didn't even know these flowers she had in her garden were forget-me- nots.) What is happening here..............is she tapping into my dreams?

This is phenomena is called shared dreaming.

It can occur between people who consciously wished this to occur.

Or this can occur through an unconscious connection - that is family members or people you are closely invovled with at the time - a project occurring, work relations, lovers, friends etc.

Also an anniversary can stimulate the mind to connect to a certain time period - your daughter and yourself share the connection to your late husband.

Dear eye of tiger, thankyou for the link, interesting................ I've never before heard of shared dreams. I thought this so uncanny and if we hadn't spoken on the telephone the next day after each dream, but later on we wouldn't have know anymore that they occurred the same night. I suppose then there could be other dreams we have shared.
As for the interpretation, the messages in the dream I had were clear enough for me, I got three; the last one being that Dirk sat opposite me at a table (he was the same age as when we first met) and he was talking to me but looking past me as if I wasn't there and I couldn't hear what he was saying. I interpretate this to mean he's not getting through to me, my thoughts are getting in the way. The other two messages were clear as a bell for me, that I would be ok financially and he was taking care of me. (Shortly before he passed he did say that he would always look out for me and take care of me. I believe that whenever it's in his power he does so.)

  Thanks cc, as it so happens this last dream took place around the time of the anniversary of our engagement 1 June. We always celebrated that as well as our wedding anniversary. My daughter usually makes a mention of it but didn't do this time and I thought she'd forgotten, she has a lot on at the moment. Maybe her subconscious mind did remember!!
