29 And I bear record that I saw the things which my father saw, and the angel of the Lord did make them known unto me.
Clearly the Lord can show visions to whomever He want to. And he can show the same vision to multiple people. The cool thing about Nephi seeing his father’s dream is that he had a “tour guide” to help him interpret the vision. It’s kind of like watching a movie DVD, where you can turn on commentary that plays over the movie. It gives you added insight into the movie from the actor’s perspective, or that of the director, producer, etc. You see the same movie, but the running commentary provides added insight and points out details you may have missed (such as 1 Nephi 15:27). Nephi had the benefit of that added insight when he saw the dream.
