This is like my experience! In one dream, I was going for a walk with my niece. She was six at the time we shared this dream, and in my version, we encountered a big warehouse filled with interesting, museum-like things. Over in a far corner was a playground, complete with swings and slides, and she went there to play while I looked at all the fantastic things elsewhere in the warehouse. Two days later I asked her about her dreams, and she told me about the Carnival we encountered in a park. She said I let her go and ride any ride she wanted while I stayed at the picnic table. She was so pleased to be free to play by herself!
I've had four such dreams, where the experience was different, yet alike enough in the basic encounter. I think of a Star Trek scene where Riker and DeAnna Troy beam down to a planet and while they are both together, each experience different environments.
In one of my family's shared dreams, we discovered that one brother dreamed it on a different night. Points to the possibility that time doesn't matter in dreaming, and that people might not need to be asleep at the same time HERE, but that it may always be the same time THERE?
