Do you confuse your dreams with reality?

When I’ve been delusional in the past I would sometimes not be able to tell if something was a dream or reality.

I had a dream once that I visited my friend in Japan.

Afterwards, I could not figure out whether it was a real memory or just a dream.

It was a little spooky.

Has that ever happened to you?

When I was on aripiprazole injection I had these vivid dreams. Yes many times I confused them for reality. Was enjoyable to have them but the med stopped working.

Thinking dreams have extra significance is one of the warning signs for me that I’m getting unwell. When my meds weren’t working properly I had really vivid dreams and I would write them down. That was a long time ago. I hardly ever remember my dreams now.

I did have a period of this on paliperidone. Nothing major like going to Japan, but there were a few things that caused minor confusion.

I’ve had visions which came true. I now believe in the law of attraction, but I wonder how much we control our own visions, if that makes sense lol. I’ve never had a dream which turned into reality or confused the two from what I can remember

No, but sometimes I confuse dreams for memories.

yes, I do this too!

I had a dream in which my professor was trying to threaten me. I still doubt if that was real or not

When I first started Paliperidone I had the most vivid dreams and had a hard time telling if they were real or not.

I dont confuse my dreams with reality. When I wake up, it only takes a short time to realize it was just a dream. However, I used to think dreams meant nothing. I dont believe that anymore.

I have a repeated dream where I can never find my way home from London. I’m always hanging around London in my dreams and it’s such a struggle to get home.

In my dream I have my phone, but I can never properly use the phone because it’s hard to push the right buttons in my dreams. I’m always trying to contact someone for a lift back home, but it’s always a struggle.

So at the end of the dream I’m always like “right, I’m stuck in London miles away from home”, then I wake up.

I used to work in London when I was younger, so it could be something to do with that.

constantly. it’s a problem. there are moments in my life that i still don’t know if they were a dream or reality.

i debate sometimes if some of my favorite memories really happened, or if they were just dreams, or things that were distorted by dreams.

I put too much weight on my dreams. They influence me too much.

I often have dreams that I’m in school and worried about tests and assignments. It takes me a few moments after I wake to assure myself Im not in school.

Yes, last night

Don’t know if I shouted in a dream and woke up or if I dreamt I woke up and therefore been awake

Had that kind of dream really long ago, about yeah 25 years

I dreamt I woke up in my bed, the reality was slightly different, a loud noise in the basement, the stairs burned and I turned over them back into my bed.

To awake again a few seconds later.

Are you into dream interpretation? I do it as fun.

My mother believes in it, I really don’t. My mother is a spiritual person.
