Confusing dreams with reality

[SpanishFlea]

Have you ever had so many dreams in a night that later on in the day you actually confuse events in them as events that may have actually happened in real life upon trying to reflect? It's happened to me lately, not that it's a problem, I eventually determine it was a dream, I was just wondering if it has happened to anyone else

[Sleepy_Brown]

This happens when I think about the long ago past. Or after a night out it is sometimes hard to determine between a dream and a drunken, hazy memory. And it really bugs me when I can't decide! lol.

Yes, I made a thread about that in the Recall forum a while back. Lately my recall has fallen, not a problem anymore

I was having a conversation about this earlier today, it happens all the time, the other day i though one of mt familiy members horse was dead and then i was shocked when i found out he was alive i was sure he was dead. Dreams can feel so real!

Omg!! Yeah I usually have like 50 dreams a night. seriously. And I usually forget most of them. So alot of times when something happens, or someone says something, I think "Was that in a dream?" I sound really stupid when it is in a dream and I think it happenned. lol. Basically Im always confused lol. haha

Yes, I've experienced that a few times. It's kind of creepy. Hasn't happened to me in a while, though.

Well, for me, that very rarely happens. I seem to have a pretty good idea of which memories are real and which ones are from dreams, even when I feel like I've had many in one night. Every once in a while, there might be something that I wonder whether it was real or a dream, and I may have to go check, but it's almost always something very trivial.

uh...that happens to me a lot. when I'm trying to remember something and than i ask myself: was this in a dream or reality.

[Spartiate]

I often get déjà vu related with my dreams, but I have never confused dream events with real events.

[HypnoPsychE]

There's a thread somewhere around here called: The Stupidest Way you miss Lucid Dream..or something like that. You should check that out! Its funny and it shows you that you are not alone in this problem!

[Kacper]

It used to happen to me either while falling asleep - when I'd find myself thinking about events that didn't took place in reality - or shortly after awakening, when I couldn't decide if what I've experienced was real or dream. Doesn't happen too often though.

[Mrs. Jones]

this has happens to me too. i confuse dreams with distant memories. usually they involve fantastic, yet realistic, places which i would very unlikely have visited, but i feel very strongly that i have. i'd like to believe i have.

This did happen to me when I was younger, but not anymore.
