Did I dream it?

I had this dream. It was so vivid that for a while I thought it was real when I woke up. I looked out for him. How could he be there when he was so far away? But my mind refused to believe that he hadn't been there. He had held me. I had felt his touch.

Maybe I had been thinking of him. But I knew after all that work and not to forget my medications, I had no thoughts in my mind when I literally fell into my bed. So why did I have that dream or was it that?

When I talked to him later, I did not mention it. He said he had been thinking of me. I asked him when, the time he mentioned coincided with my dream. Being in different time zones, our sleeping and waking hours are different.

The point is how could that be possible? He had been thinking of me, I dreamt about him. He felt so near that I couldn't believe he was not there...

Does it happen?
I do have visions but this...?
