One time I was dreaming that I was sleeping over at my friends's house, and we were in the kitchen. My alarm came on with a song about "I wonder what it would like to be a rain maker" which you may remember from the 90s and a big 4ft tall rain drop appeared in his pantry. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

So yes, this does happen to other people too. I've heard of the "touch" connection in that regard but never experienced it. It obviously wouldn't work with taste or sight though, unless someone put food in your mouth
