Actually that's quite wrong.
I've dreamt the same dream as my sis did a several times.
She is 8 years older and lives in London, I live in Latvia, but we are very close and alike.
So, we talk through yahoo messenger almost each day and several times (some 5 or 6) we found out that we were having the same dream.
That is: we were at the same location and there were the same people for both of us, but we didn't see each other. We each dreamt the same place, the same people and their actions, but each from our own perspective and also did different things, we had different reaction to the same evens.
For example:
we both saw broken stairs in the house we both know, then we took the elevator and gone up, the elevator there freezes. So we somehow get out
In that dream I went left and found a bar/pub in the attic, she managed to get herself down the broken stairs on her own from the top floor where the elevator froze.
That is just one dream.
Interestingly enough that happened the same night or a night later or before, the interval at which we saw the same dream.
