In "Dreams," he emphasizes the fleeting and ethereal nature of dreams, suggesting they can provide solace and escape from harsh realities. Similarly, "A Dream" delves into the surreal quality of dreams, portraying them as spaces where deeper truths and emotions can be accessed. Both works reflect Poe's fascination with the subconscious and the profound impact of dreams on human experience.

When several individuals have similar dreams on the same night, it suggests that they are deeply interested, committed or concerned with the same issue, event or topic, such as social action or a sport. The fact that these 5 persons share information about their dreams implies that they also share a lot of other information with one another, which would naturally lead to similar ideas, preoccupations and therefore similar dreams. ....
