I spent 2 summers living in a tent and working in the remote Sierra Nevada mountains as part of a crew of wildlife field technicians. Several times we found that our dreams started to converge, with very similar imagery. I think that it was because we all had nearly identical experiences on any given day.

I suppose that makes sense. I read somewhere that dreams are likely the product of our minds sorting memories for long term storage, if they all had similar input during the day it would stand to reason they would all have similar “sorting” experiences at night.

Hmmm not sure I’d want to be an intern with that prof who dreamed of the tossing them to the sharks dream.
