What an amazing experience to have. I’ve always found shared dreaming very interesting although I haven’t had one myself. Not one that I’ve managed to corroborate, at least. Are you close with your cousins? Maybe you have a connection on a deeper level that allows you to pick up on each others thoughts in this way…
