This can usually be chalked up to something supernatural. A prophecy, for example, may need more than one ChosenOne- so TheChosenMany will all have the same dream about said prophecy. A character with the power to grant dreams may choose to trap everyone in the same dream, which is especially common if the dream is actually a nightmare. Or, mind-reading characters may be able to experience someone else's dream while asleep.

Compare the occasionally-overlapping DreamLand, where dreams aren't just mental, but take place in different realities altogether, one where the characters will occasionally take part in the same dream. Also compare to the DreamWalker, who can enter other people's dreams as an ability, and the DreamWeaver, with the power to alter or grant dreams. ButYouWereThereAndYouAndYou is a distinct-but-related concept where the cast of a dream is made up of people the character already knows- but who aren't literally having the same dream as the dreamer. Can be faked in a DreamDeception.
