I strongly suspect that most psychologists would rule out dream telepathy as a possibility for those types of experiences.  In any event, although it is somewhat dated, one readily accessible discussion of the evidence for this topic can be found in:

Child, I. L. (1985). Psychology and anomalous observations: The question of ESP in dreams. American Psychologist, 40, 219-1239.

For a skeptical viewpoint see:

Hyman, R. (1987).  Maimonides Dream-Telepathy Experiments.  Skeptical Inquirer, 11, 91-92
