The simplest explanation is a common source of information. However, that needn't be a supernatural or paranormal source. How can any source affect a dream? Well, it probably can't with certainty. When it fails, however, you would be unaware of that, as you would simply know that you had a dream which was different from someone else's dream, or that you didn't recollect any dream at all, and neither of those circumstances would be remarkable in any way.
Bear in mind that it is known that people can sometimes incorporate into their dream something that is said within their earshot while they are sleeping. The senses are not completely shut down during sleep.
The problem with guessing what the common source was, and how it operated, is that you were asleep at the time, so you don't know what was happening, only what you recall having dreamt. You don't even know how accurate your recall was, nor exactly when the dream occurred and whether you have recalled all of it or just some of it. People tend to assume that if a dream seems recent it is recent, but there's no way to tell.
I would like to ask you why you noted the fine details of the dream at the time, and how you discovered about the other people's dreams. Were they people you knew? Why did they make detailed notes about their dreams? If detailed written notes were made, are they still available? If they weren't made, how did you know your dreams matched accurately?
