Thread: confusing dreams with reality

i keep confusing things up lately, i have been dreaming more, and sometimes i will remember something, but im not sure weather it happened in a dream, or in real life. is this normal to do? should i be concerned as i progress along with lucid dreaming?

Yes you should be concerned.
I sometimes mix up reality and dreams, but it doesn't take long before I recognize which was which. If you honestly can't tell the difference, something is wrong here, unless you have just tried to remember a dream from long a go and are getting it confused with reality. If its a recent dream... doesn't seem right to me.

well maybe i should say it both ways, usualy it sconfusing reality with dreams. like ill think my gf said something to me, then im like, wait, was that just in a dream? and i never know? so i have to think for a while. if i think hard enough i can usually figure it out. but do you still think it's something to be concerned about?

Well, I am no medical expert obviously, so I couldn't say. But it doesn't seem right to me.

Can you recall your dreams well? If you have trouble remembering dreams, it seems likely parts of them might get confused with reality.

usually when i dream they aren't very vivid. it's like looking through a dark , and a little blurry, glass. like icna make out detail so it's not to blurry or dark. besides pills or anything , would you recomend anything else for me to increase my clarity in just a normal dream? is there a possible way of doing this? of course my final goal is to have very clear lucid dreams, but until i can attain lucidity whenever i want

I don't recommend you use pills, so thats good.
Some say apple juice increases vividness.

Oh and I did a search on Google and it seems there are many who report confusing dreams with reality. Maybe you could look into it yourself.
