This is a different approach to bringing true loves together. A wish in a magic fountain allows Nick and Natalie to occupy each others' dreams. For three nights they blissfully fall in love yet outside their dreams they have never met. But then doubt creeps in which leads to the struggle that occurs in the rest of the movie.
I find it ironic that this story is in a Hallmark movie where no unmarried couple ever sleeps together and yet these two find themselves together while sleeping.
I find Katherine McPhee to be the most beautiful of women when her character is in love so I may be a little prejudiced.
PS after second viewing : the story is extremely sweet and sappy which is OK in my book. It is also quite simple, especially the romantic part. I think the writers had to fill it out with the stories about Nick's contest and Natalie's restaurant. McPhee when she made this movie was perfect for the sweet innocent girl part. Her later marriage to a billionaire twice her age makes that also somewhat ironic.

Plot summary
Nick Smith, a talented architect employed by an unappreciative scrooge but contemplating a firm of his own with colleague Joe Yablonski, suffers pointless attempts by his mother to match him up. Yet after he tosses a coin with his kid cousin in a legendary magical love fountain, at the same time as Natalie Russo, the two touch and program them to dream of each-other as lovers seven times, longing to meet for real but doubting if the dream partner even exists. She runs her mother's ailing Italian restaurant, which recovers thanks to flirtatious Italian chef Mario, who has an unrequited crush on Nat. The last night, each finds the other's trail, but has a pressing professional priority while they seem only to cross while the magical time window runs out.

I thought In My Dreams was mostly contrived too much for my taste...
You know, I like romantic movies if the leading characters are charming enough and the story is believable enough. And maybe the situations and supporting players are also believable enough. But not if things seem contrived enough that I can predict what can happen or think "How convenient!" like when this Mario character suddenly declares he's not in love with the leading lady and instead he's into her assistant! And this thing about the Katharine McPhee and Mike Vogel characters actually "meeting" each other in a dream and seeing how "perfect" they are for each other in Real Life because of those dreams did not completely hold butter or water for me, either! It was nice to see JoBeth Williams, who I long remember from Stir Crazy, Poltergeist, and Switch, on screen again, so there's that. And this wasn't a complete waste of time for me or my mom. It's just if the story doesn't seem real enough for me, I can't completely get into it. But I respect anyone who falls for such trifle...

Seven to ten star reviews seem to use the word "sweet" a lot in describing this movie, not to be gender age sensitive, but please grandma you've seen this storyline a thousand and one times already. There was no creative writing, great acting, or thoughtful dialogue to challenge us. What was on the menu here was bad for your health as you would have learned if you had been reading anything lately other than romance novels. It was just another excessive, syrupy "sweetness" w/no nutritional value movie. OK, they did add superstitious fountain penny wish fulfillment along w/paranormal dream scenes to the script to make it different. Well, dumb different! After watching this I now have to see the dentist. Oh, that it took four years after TV showing to release on DVD says something about quality.
