The siblings, who call themselves The Twinnies, spoke via video link from their home in Queensland, Australia.
They became globally recognised after talking in unison live to a news outlet about their mum being faced by an alleged gunman.
Richard Madeley asked them: "Do you dream in sync, do you have the same dreams".
The twins looked blankly at their camera before saying bluntly "no" at the same time.
"No we hardly dream", added Bridget.
In a fascinating moment, the sisters giggled together in exactly the same fashion,after answering the question.
"You even giggle in sync," responded a baffled Mr Madeley.
The stunned GMB host also grilled the twins on whether they were telepathic.
"Yeh, probably, I'm so glad there are people out there who understand twins. We did go to a twins function and they said they were jealous of our relationship," they replied in unison.
Bridget and Paula run an animal rescue charity and were mentored by the late Steve Irwin.
It is not the first time they have showed off their remarkable shared wavelength on TV.
The pair were interviewed by Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain back in 2016, where they spoke in sync with each other.
Morgan called it "one of the greatest interviews I've ever conducted in my life."
Meanwhile, in their viral interview on 7NEWS Queensland, the twins told how their mother came face-to-face with an armed car thief.
The Aussies, who were wearing matching outfits for the TV interview, completed each other's sentences word-for-word as they told their story.
The pair stunned the internet with their jaw-dropping shared wavelength.
Social media users have gone as far to call it a "top five interview of all time."
The clip has now been viewed on X more than three million times.
The reported carjacking incident took place in Queensland - which the pair witnessed first hand.
A 22-year-old woman is reported to have died from injuries sustained in a crash, and another man was shot.
Introducing the twins' interview, a news report sets up the witness testimony in a conventional, straightforward manner.
The newsreader says: "Two sisters have told of how their mother and a man raced to help when the carjacked SUV rolled on Steve Irwin Way, only to find the gun-wielding car thief emerging from the wreck."
Recounting the terrifying incident, the sisters explained: "One guy, he was up there with our mum.
"And he went up there, he was coming back down towards us and he goes 'run, he's got a gun'.
"And our heart started to pound. And I said, 'Oh, mum, where's mum?'. And poor mum was stuck up there."
While one of the pair recounts the story, the other repeatedly joins in word-for-word, fully in sync with her sister's account.
They described how their mum went to the car to help only to find man with a gun.
The pair continued: "She goes, 'Are you alright?' Because he had blood all over his face. She goes, 'I'm here to help'.
"Mum was distracting him to make him look the other way and he looked the other way and mum ran into the bush behind the fence and the guy goes, 'I'll find you and I'll shoot you'."
The sisters were unharmed in the horrifying incident.
This comes as another set of twins "shared psychosis".
Elsewhere, a different pair of identical twins got engaged to the same man - and they all sleep in one giant bed.
Plus, two other twins say telepathy is real - and there's one sticky situation they always use it for to avoid embarrassment.

Strictly's Anton Du Beke reveals traumatic childhood where he was stabbed by his dad
Anton Du Beke has spoken about a horrifying moment when he was stabbed by his father during an appearance on a chat show, admitting he never told anyone the truth about how he got his injuries Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke once opened up about a traumatic incident from his childhood, revealing that he was once stabbed by his father during a violent altercation. The 57-year-old dancer and television personality spoke about the Boxing Day fight at his family home in Kent which left him hospitalised for several days during an appearance on Kate Garraway 's Life Stories. He told previously told GMB star Kate: "I got stabbed in the leg and in the stomach because of a fight on Boxing Day and it was an idiotic situation. I remember walking out of the house to walk up to the hospital holding my leg and a police car drove past and I waved them down and I said 'he's in there with a knife'."It comes after Jeremy Vine reveals what will happen if Joey Barton fails to pay staggering legal bill. Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones split as he joins a notorious dating app on a lads' holiday Whitney Houston spent her tragic final moments 'feasting on food' with gravy boat in bathtub He continued: "Anyway, they carted him off and I ended up in hospital for three or four days. My only concern was getting back into the studio and dancing and the embarrassment of it." Du Beke, who was born Tony Beke, grew up on a council estate in Sevenoaks with his Spanish mother and Hungarian father. He explained that his relationship with his father became increasingly strained as he struggled with alcoholism, and Anton became the target of his father's aggression. He shared: "You've got an alcoholic father and a situation where if you're in the house, [he's] drinking then you end up with the fights and stuff. You'd move room to get away from all of it and then he follows you in and the next thing you know the violence starts and then it came to a head one evening, I ended up in hospital for three days." Du Beke kept the ordeal a secret from family and friends for many years, telling people he "pulled a hamstring" to cover up his injuries. He added: "I'm a forward looker... I don't like to look back, I like to look forward. I can't really believe I'm talking to you about this. I should've glossed over this." Garraway noted that Du Beke's father was ultimately cleared in court of wounding his son. When his father passed away, Du Beke chose not to attend the funeral, saying: "Everything was about moving forwards. I felt sorry for my mum, this was her husband, she's working two jobs and he chose to drink and be violent. It's just life and you carry on." After the difficult incident, Du Beke decided to reinvent himself. He admitted: "I wanted a new start and a new beginning and I wanted to leave what went before, behind. I just wanted to be me." Du Beke was the longest-serving professional on Strictly Come Dancing before becoming a judge in 2021. Over the years, he has partnered with celebrities including Emma Barton, Ann Widdecombe, and Jacqui Smith. The Strictly star went on to insist that his ambition to succeed was never inspired by his difficult past, adding: "I never did anything I did because of him. My motivation to do what I did was not because of that. I hate woe is me."
