No. Although this is a popular superstition, it has no basis in reality. There is no magical broadcasting or transmitting system that connects anyone's thoughts with the dreams of others. An obvious example: countless teenaged girls dream about celebrities such as Justin Bieber or in other generations, Elvis Presley or Frank Sinatra. But the celebrity certainly has not been thinking about each individual girl.

Dreams are the subconscious concepts embed in the human psyche that is recalled as images or concepts and actions for suppressed emotions/desires in the subconscious mind. However recent studies have revealed the human ability to connect in empathy with others.

Although this is a very popular superstition, it has no basis in fact. Human beings cannot communicate over distances without a device such as a telephone or radio. Both thoughts and dreams exist only in the mind of the individual and are not broadcast to the mind of any one else.

Your dreams are not connected to another person's dreams or thoughts. The exception would be if you are telepathic, which is unlikely as no evidence has been produced in spite of extensive research.

What is the difference between thinking and dreaming?

you think that when you dream it is real, when you think you are conscious of what you are thinking about e.g. you know you think during an exam. When you dream you are unconscious, asleep, so you aren't aware so more often than not you think everything is real even though it is not. Dreaming is when you are unaware and thinking is when you are.


Does a person go to sleep thinking about you if you dream about them?

yes No, in spite of popular superstition, this is not true. There is no magical radar connecting the minds of sleeping or dreaming individual. One might as well believe that one's friends on FaceBook - or Answers.com - respond to posts because they were reading one's mind.


Why do people dream about other people?

When images of people appear in dreams, they often are symbols used to represent something or someone quite different from what they appear to be. For example, dreaming about one's father might suggest the dreamer's feelings about authority or power. Dreams about a child or children are often about left-over feelings or fears from the dreamer's own childhood. people dream about other people when they are in love or want that person

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.

In any case, your dream does not mean that the person was thinking or dreaming about you.

What does it mean if you dream that you started going out with a friends ex girlfriend?

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.

What does it mean when you dream that someone visits you in your sleep to talk?

There is no special significance to such dreams. Dreaming of someone and talking to them in the dream does NOT mean that person is or was thinking of you, and it does not determine your own feelings about that person. People and objects in dreams are symbols, representing something other than what they seem to be. The "someone" is this dream might represent an aspect of yourself, or a problem you need to solve in real life.
