I'm Malayalee, and I celebrate Vishu. I know that Ugadi and Baisakhi fall around the same time (March/April). I was wondering whether there is a common explanation for the reason behind those holidays.

It is not manmade or stupidity as other before me categorised. It is a day calculated very scientifically. It is the begining of a new year and it is called in different names by different communities. Generally in India it falls in the middel of March or middle of April every year.
Vishu is a festival held in the state of Kerala is the first day in the Malayalam month of Medam (April – May). This occasion signifies the Sun's transit to the zodiac Mesha Mesha Raasi as per Indian astrological calculations. It is also known as the Malayalam New Year day and thus the importance of this day to all Malayalees regardless of their religion or sect. Similarly the day is celebrated in almost all places in India by the Hindus albeit by different names. It is Ugadi in Andhra and Karnataka, Boishakh in Bengal and ndar used in Bangladesh and parts of India. Boisakh is also the first month in the Nepali calendar Bikram Sambat. Varushapirappu in Tamilnadu, Vaishaki in Punjab and so on-

Freund thought that dreams are the subconsious's desires. However, all psychologists today say that is pretty much not true. Some say dreams are random pictures and images flying through your mind. So as this happens, a human's mind naturally tries to make sense out of it. Gestalt psychology talks about making out patterns when it is not meant to be. If you think about this, alot of people's dreams are really strange so a random pattern of combined images somewhat makes sense. i think if you think about something more before you go to sleep it is more likely to be in your dreams. Dreams are something that scientists have a hard time figuring out which is why I could see you putting this in the philosophy section.

There are so many stupid religious holidays in the year, some have to fall close enough to one another to seem to have significance.
