I am a christian and I'm looking for another Christian, or person who knows a lot about that beliefs of Christians, to help me with this:

The other day I met the fiancée of one of my best mates. I've wanted to meet her for absolutely ages because I have had prophetic dreams about their relationship, which led me to her boyfriend, with whom I am really good friends, telling me a lot of stuff about her that not many people know.

When I met her she said "I don't know you, but I feel like I should."
We've never had any contact before (except I accidentally sent her a friend request on a social networking site which she ignored), BUT I once had a dream where she and her fiancée were staying round my house. Her fiancée told me to go wake her up, so I went and woke her up, and we had a conversation in the dream and got to know each other.

This dream was so realistic and I am kind of wondering if maybe she had this dream as well. Perhaps she doesn't remember it but I'm finding it so freaky she recognized me - when actually my profile picture on the aforementioned social networking site is not of me.
I've looked into shared dreaming and I know that its believed to be possible, but its very rare. So my first question is: who thinks it is possible we had a shared dream but her dream recall is just appalling?

Secondly, I have a christian friend who is always telling me to be careful with my dreams, and not get caught up in the art of lucidity or astral projection because its satanic and wrong. I agree with her and I think most christians do.
However I can't help but wonder if, as a christian, I should be saying that I can't have had a shared dream because it is satanic, and I shouldn't believe in them at all. And if I do I should believe it comes purely from satan.

I'm so confused that something that might be wrong in my religion has happened to me.

So I guess what I'm saying is, is the idea of shared dreaming against christianity?
If so how comes I seem to have had one? Was it really that?

HELP!

If the message you get in a dream to for the good of the Church and the mission of Christ, dreams can tell us things,
I would worry about what you consider shared dreams

Why? From what I can tell from websites a shared dream is a dream in which two people, whether they know one another or not, stumble across each other and wake having had exactly the same dream as each other.
I think my logic as to why I think this could have been the case is reasonable. However, my question is whether such a scenario is meant to be considered 'wrong' in the eyes of a christian prophetic dreamer such as myself.
Since I have always had dreams that mean things.
