Would a barnacle's DNA be more similar to the DNA of a crab or that of a limpet Explain?

Barnacles are crustaceans, and therefore more closely related to crabs than to mollusks like limpets. The apparent similar morphology of barnacles and limpets is a result of convergent evolution. It does not necessarily require DNA (i.e., similar genotype) in order to produce similar phenotype (physical characteristics).

Why would 4 siblings have the same dream?

If the four siblings live together in the family home and share similar experiences, it would not be unusual for them to have similar dreams. Whether they all have "the same dream" is doubtful. More likely, one sibling might say, "I dreamed about a dog," then the others say, "oh, I dreamed about a dog, too," and then, "Me, too!" But the dreams, if examined closely, are probably very different.
