Lately i havent really been able to recall any of my dreams, and this one occurred about a year ago but was very upsetting to me and so vivd. Little did i know i wasnt the only one having a dream exactly like this on that night. So here is my dream, and ill post what i know about his.

From what I can remember, I was having another dream before but it wasnt as vivd and seemed to just stop in the middle of what was going on and suddenly i was dreaming about an ex ( that i hadnt spoken to in about 2 years). We were in a concert venue looking place, and i just somehow KNEW something bad had happening to him or he was very upset. All i wanted to do was to find him to help and see if he was alright. I was walking around frantically asking people if they knew where he was and if he was alright, but no one could tell me anything. The more people i ask the more panicked im becoming. Finally, i find him and hes crying. As im running to him, I woke up.

When i woke up i was crying, and had the most terrible feeling. It was almost like my stomach had dropped and a feeling of dread. At the time i had this dream i still thought about him and cared about him. I felt bad how our relationship ended and missed his friendship, so i thought it was just that. After the way i felt i decided i wanted just to message him and see if he and his family were OK. All i really said was i had a nightmare that was about him and asked if everyone was doing ok.

A day later i got a reply with him saying he had drempt about me the same night as well, that his was almost a nightmare. Apparently he had the same dream, except we were at a train station and he was looking for me. He said that i had gone into a gift shop and he had followed me and found me crying. When i saw him i darted onto a red train and he couldnt see me anywhere.

At that point in our lives that was the only contact we had both had in 2 years. We were both in a relationships, i had moved 300 miles away and he was on business in another country. I never thought i was able to lucid dream, but im almost positive that was it and I read about shared dreams, but most of it seems that its between people who are really close and at that time we werent. What would a dream like ours mean?!

It sounds like there was something going on in both of your lives that made you feel a need for the closeness of your relationship or for something that you had when you were in a relationship.

Even though you hadn't spoken to each other, since you had been together, you might have things in common and your lives may have taken similar paths - possibly emotional, not just in terms of having the same jobs or living in the same types of places.

Is it possible that he made up his dream as a way to get you to stay in contact with him? Have you remained in contact with each other since?

What brings you to post about this now?

I don't think he would have made that up. He wasn't the type of person who ever did anything like that. In fact, when we were talking about it he told me the exact same thing he had told me a year before. I would think if it was a fake story he wouldn't have remembered details or changed it around a bit. At the time we had conatcted one another we were both in different relationships and I had moved 7 hours away, and from our last conversation he wanted no contact with me (it was a bad breakup). Yes we have stayed in contact, I moved back a few months ago and we hang out somewhat often which is why it was brought up. We were having a conversation about fate (which he does not believe in) but I was trying to bring up examples of what I figured was fate. Also I brought it up that I thought it was weird that something like that would happen and that I have a lot of experiences where I will be thinking or talking about him and he wil call or text me. I guess I can attribute that to a strong connection?

I got the impression from your original post that you hadn't seen him or had any contact with him in years.

Yes, I think you have a very strong connection with each other.
