First off, there’s no such word as “sobery” but I’m sure you mean “sobering” (which possibly may not have been clearly enunciated).
Sobering thoughts are those which you experience when you see or hear from someone some awful event which you yourself might have been involved in or close to. It brings home to you how lucky you yourself are to have avoided the event/disaster/accident etc.
My friend told me that his brother, who had been following our car on his, had swerved to avoid a dog running across the road and crashed, injuring himself badly. It is a sobering thought that the dog could just as easily run out in front of our car!
(By the way, I’m sure that you’ll be pleased to know the dog was not hit and is safe.)

Great. Let’s hope you don’t have to experience too many sobering thoughts in your lifetime!

“I hope so too, nor you.” / “I hope so too and neither do you.” - both work slightly better, but what you wrote is perfect English.
