If you don't believe they had the identical dream that's up to you. There was no conversation about grandpa's health. No one is lying, grandpa spent very little time in the backyard of my wife's parent's house as he didn't live there. Again, with respect to chance, I rate that as extremely remote. You can reject the whole episode if you like, but it seems to me that you are allowing your prejudice against the supernatural to override what could be considered a good example of predictive prophecy.
personal experiences like dreams and fuzzy feelings are not evidence.

I think lots of things. There are tons of possibilities. ha! I was a Christian myself once, man. I know how it rolls.
1. You both didn't really have the same exact dream. As you were telling it, you began to get emotional and felt goosebumps, which lead you to exaggerate, and say more than the honest "me too" that should have been blurted out.
or
2. You both were part of a similar conversation regarding grandfather where his health condition was discussed. This left this matter hanging around your minds.
or
3. One of you is lying.
or
4. He spends a lot of time in his yard and made a comment about wondering if anyone would find him if he had a stroke there. Mind logged it. Dreamed it. You get the picture.
or
5. chance. Like the dude in a trench coat showing up the next day. Say, while wars are going on and hunger is killing children across the world, why do you think a god would give a peep preference to send a specific dream regarding a trench coat? ha! funny, right? Sometimes we think we're so special compared to the rest of the world.
