What you and your friends experienced was a mutual dream.
Mutual dreaming occurs when the dreams of two or more people share certain elements. In the strongest form of mutual dreaming, the dreamers share the same dream completely.
Mutual dreaming is most common amongst two people who know each other well. The stronger form of mutual dreaming, the meeting dream, occurs where the dreamers actually see each other and possibly communicate.
The strongest examples of meeting dreams suggest some form of telepathic activity, which causes many people to be skeptical about these dreams.

It doesn't matter to me what skeptics think to be impossible, but rather what I know is possible. Don't get me wrong it is good to have a healthy level of skepticism, but the mind shouldn't be closed to possibilites. In the last dream like this I can remember...
I was walking up some steps to go into a building I didn't recognize, I turned and saw my best friend about 30 yards away getting out of her car, I walked on in. There was a dining area where alot of people were eating and talking. I walked into a small room where there were boxes of pictures, I picked up a box to look at them and discovered it was full of my exhusbands pictures taken after we split. This is the point where my best friend showed up as well as my youngest daughter. We sat on the floor and were looking through the pictures, I commented on how happy he seemed to be and all the new things he has aquired. I then said something about him not ever sending our kids child support even after I told him to just send what he could if he couldn't send all the court ordered which isn't much at all. We saw pictures of his new girl friend and I said I hope he treated her better than he did me...he was a very angry, violent person. Anyway, he then stormed into the room and knocked the picture I was holding out of my hand, his face turned red and he was coming at me when I woke up.
So when I woke up my best friend called and said she had a very strange dream, I let her talk about it. She mentioned that my daughter was there as well and described the dream. I guess about 30 minutes later my daughter came into my room and I asked her if she remembered what she dreamed last night, she said yeah and I asked her to tell me what she could remember.
She too described the pictures we were looking at and then said that her dad (who she calls by his first name now) showed up and was mad because we were looking at his pictures, she said "he was really mad, his face turned red and he was about to kill you mom, and I woke up". I was about to ask her if she was eaves dropping on my phone conversation earlier when she added an extra detail that I did not mention to my best friend when I validated what she told me about her dream. My daughter said "you said it must be nice to be able to afford Marlboro cigarettes, while I work my butt off, without any financial or emotional support for the kids." She nailed it, and I then knew she was there with us....wherever we were.

In the dream, we met at the College Cafeteria -- she was coming from Line 1 and I was coming from Line 5 and we met in between. We greeted, and then discussed what we had found in the Lines we had already each investigated. I told her that there was nothing on Lines 5, 4 and 3. Neither of us had looked at Line 2. She said that there were some puddings on Line 1. Then we parted after wishing each other a 'good evening'.
Well, the next morning we met in a crowded hallway as people were rushing to their classes. Now, when we saw each other, each of us began to plan to say "I dreamt of you last night..." and then when we heard what each of us was saying... we realized it might be the Same Dream, and so we each SIMULTANEOUSLY recounted the Dream, detail by detail, word per word, each from our own viewpoint.
