No. There are no magical transmitters or receivers in the human brain that can send signals between individuals - awake or asleep - without some sort of device such as a cell phone.
> as the following answer demonstrates, the OPPOSITE is common: if you fall asleep thinking of a certain person, you might dream of them. But another person's thoughts (or dreams) cannot influence your dreams.
It's possible. I fell asleep thinking of my friend because we had talked just before on the phone. I woke up the next morning from a strange dream about her. When she called me on the phone a few hours later she repeated to me the same dream I had.
Dreams, like thoughts, exist only within the mind of the dreamer. Like thoughts, dreams cannot be magically transmitted from one person's brain to anyone else without some form of communication: speaking, writing or using a device such as a cell phone. If "Mary" falls asleep thinking about a "Johnny," Mary might dream of Johnny. But Mary's thoughts will not be sent magically through the night to influence Johnny's dreams.
> Just think: if one person's thoughts DID cause another person's dreams, what would happen to the dreams of celebrities like Justin Bieber or Beyonce?
to be honest, i honestly do believe it. [personal experience continued on Discussion Page.]
Dreams are about what you think.
No, dreaming about someone does not mean that person was thinking of the dreamer. Dreams originate within the subconscious (unconscious) mind of the dreamer. Just as it is impossible to plant thoughts in another person's mind just by thinking about them, dreams cannot be affected by another person's thoughts or dreams.
Think about me. I'll let you know if I dream about you. The universe can react in strange ways.
No, you dream about someone when YOU think a lot about THEM. Your dreams have nothing to do with what another person is thinking.
when you dream about someone, they fell asleep thinking about you. they dont always think about what you dream about though.
In such a case, I consider it much more likely that you think about that person unconsciously, and that this will surface while you are asleep.
it could be that you were thinking of her before you fell asleep because if someone is on your mind before you fall asleep sometimes you dream them. but the real question is how do you feel toward your friend's ex? again if you are constantly thinking about someone or something you may dream her/him or it. if you were not thinking about this person at all then maybe it was just one of those weird dreams. not to worry everyone has strange dreams they don't understand.
Not necessarily. Your dreams are normally a manifestation of what you has been on your mind. If that someone hasn't been thinking of you, s/he will not dream of you even if you dream of them.
No. This is self-evidently untrue; you may dream of a celebrity who's never even heard of you, so how could they possibly be thinking of you?
Fall back asleep thinking about that dream.
There is not enough information to provide any interpretation. In general, dreams are about the dreamer, expressing the dreamer's emotions. The dream does not provide any information about the other person's thoughts or feelings. Also, the common beliefs that a dream can be caused by another person thinking of you before sleeping or by another person dreaming of you are both false superstitions.
One need not think about a person while awake in order for that person to appear in a dream. The dreamer's subconscious mind might associate that individual with a particular memory or experience from the preceding day. That individual might symbolize someone or something else in the dream - there are countless possibilities. However, seeing someone in a dream does NOT mean that person was thinking of the dreamer.
if u have a kitten in your dream it means u were thinking about kittens before u fell asleep
It mean's your brain was thinking about fish while falling asleep and focused on it.
Dreams do not foretell the future. When you dream about a specific person, it usually means that you have been thinking about that person, or that you wish you could meet them.
One of your friends may have been in a dream because you have been thinking about him/her is the hour before you fell asleep
