Last year my best friend from jr high who I almost never talk to now emailed me and said she dreamed we were in an atrium with little animals. There was a pool in the room. I had just written my lucid dream down and also dreamed of an atrium with a pool and little animals and my friend was there as well. I can’t remember ever dreaming about her as an adult. This was a very odd coincidence that made me go huh??
I can understand the naked thing. I still like to get extremely intoxicated in my dreams. Like, drinking 5 bottles of vodka intoxicated. It's like a super high without any adverse side effects! Don't worry, I don't drink much IRL. I was doing this before I've ever even tried alcohol IRL, so I was quite disappointed when I got my first buzz on the real thing. So, maybe not as whimsical as being naked, but just something I like to do.
As for the thing with your friend, it reminds me of a documentary-like movie on lucid dreaming I saw years ago. At one point it goes on how some researches did a study on random people and there were some cases where some people would have very identical dreams or wake up with identical ideas on the same day. It theorized that many people's minds could be subtly connected when dreaming in some way. I have a far-fetched idea, but I wonder if our brains are capable of transmitting and receiving signals unseen or documented by man. Maybe our brains need to be sleeping to transmit certain frequencies, like a cellular device? People who know each other could have a stronger connection like in your case. Just an idea.
