Dreams that seem real !!!

[DrXXX]

Dont know if this is just me but when i dream i remember it as an event that has actually happened,what i mean is years later i can get confused sometimes when recalling an event that really happened with what was just a dream.
Does this happen to anyone else,most people tell me they cant remember what they dreamt about the night before.

only very rarely do i remember dreams, and when i try to remember them they become all muddled.

iknow exactly what you mean .. i had a very real dream that i'd had a baby when i was 14 ... the next day i really struggled to remember if i had had a baby, but just repressed it or if i'd just dreamt it ... was scary for a few minutes

its called lucid dreaming

[ummmm]

I dreamt last week that my Dad had died. I woke up in the morning to my Mum knocking on my door. I wasn't sure whether it was a dream or not and just sat there waiting for her to say something......and I was too scared to just in case it was true.

The worse feeling I've ever felt.....

It's not called Lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when you realise consciously that you are dreaming so you can then control your dream and do what you want, like go flying or walk through walls.

of course clarabel - got mixed up, misread the q.
i was thinking about how you remember lucid dreams, and that is why dr thinks they are real.

drxxx - do you mean you mean you control the dream or just forget it was a dream?
