Thread: Dreaming crossing into reality...?

This happens to many people, especially those with false awakenings. The mind sure is a tricky thing!

a little scary...luckily it was only with a minor inconsequential item...but what if it was for something more serious..?

Anyone else had this...?

Hi, I think it's harmless because if it were that critical we would be able to tell the difference...it only happens to trivial unimportant stuff which we don't pay much attention to IRL. Like the other time I remembered wrongly that someone bought an extra loaf of bread but then realised it was a dream when I saw only one new loaf on the table.

Yeah this has happened to me a few times where I put something away and go to look for it only to find it being somewhere else.

I had thought I had bought a wii man I didn't even get to play it but searced for it that day I almost cried.
