It's ambiguous because it kind of leaves it up to the reader whether they think it is the same dream or a different one. It can have two conotations to it.

If you mean "ambiguous", then, it may be. Basically, the person is saying that I had dreamed about you for 2 consecutive days. By stating a dream (implying one), it means the same dream, but this may not be what the person actually meant.
The best way to interpret whether the dream was the same or different ones, would be to ask the individual who said this.

Clearly, there is no ambiguity here, unless it was possible that you slept for two days in a row. You had two distinct dreams (the same course of events could have occurred between both dreams), since you had two sleeping periods (i.e. slept and dreamt on one day, then slept and dreamt on the subsequent day).
It is similar to this sentence: "I went to the theatre with my date two days in a row". Cleary, I went to the theatre on two separate occasions and, ergo, had two separate dates.
