I have a friend of mine who often says the same things I'm saying. We say the same things at the same time. This has happened for years, now. Sometimes she says something I'm thinking, and something she says "Hey! I was thinking that, too!". It doesn't happen often with other people, but it happens a lot with her. I don't know why it happens...
When we know someone for a long time, we learn more and more their positions on things and their mode of thinking. Mirror neurons in the brain enable us to feel empathic toward others, and understand them and their moods. Dysfunction in the mirror neuron system may be involved in autistic spectrum disorders. There also appears to be a connection between mirror neurons and language, but this as far as I know is an area of ongoing research (as are mirror neurons in general).
One of the techniques I learned for connecting with a client in my clinical psych studies was to mirror the other person's tone of voice, body positions, etc. This helps build a therapeutic relationship and also is an aid in getting insight into what a client is going through cognitively and emotionally. So the mirror neuron system can be tapped into to build empathy with another.
Now, I'm not saying all consciousness might not be connected on the quantum level ... and it might be that the mirror neurons are instrumental in this kind of connectivity between individuals. But my bet would be that the experience you're describing (which many of us have had with close friends or spouses) can be explained without having to resort to mysticism or speculation about some as yet unexplained consciousness field.
It's a pretty cool phenomenon.. I've been having telepathic dreams lately w/ certain people...people I have very strong connections with that I don't see or speak to regularly.. It's weird, like I'll dream about someone and they'll contact me later that same day.. I had called one of these people late one evening a couple weeks ago (it went to vm) and when he returned my call the next morning after waking up, he said it was funny I had called bc he had left his phone charging downstairs and had just had several dreams about me.. I had a dream about him yesterday- lo & behold, he sends me a message on fb the same day..
Like Wonder Woman, I have the ability of using mental telepathy. My mom used to abandon me as a child in stores telling me she would start a new life under an assumed name in another state.
