My dreams blend into my memories

I have noticed that my memories from every day situations and my memories from dreams I had when sleeping have seemed to form into one.
I am usually able to distinguish between what actually happened and what didn’t but at times, I get confused. I even have flashbacks from dreams whilst I am awake and I try to remember when they happened but obviously, they didn’t.
It feels like I have experienced both. I won’t think too hard about it though as it may lead to another delusion.

Does anyone else do this?:thinking:

I do! It’s hard. It’s confusing. You just have to air on the side of caution. Don’t say or do anything stupid just in case you’re awake. Don’t trust your memories, I don’t. I always ask my family, did we do this or was that just a dream? Luckily I’m in a position where I have someone with me almost all the time so I always have someone to ask and they are very understanding of my memory problem. Actually they have a good sense of humor about it. I try to go along with it even though it pretty much hurts my feelings. But what can I do, I simply get confused and I don’t remember. Sometimes I think I have Alzheimer’s or something.

Yes I have had this happen in the past but not so much now. I found it very distressing

Yes I also have difficulty knowing whether I’m remembering something that happened while awake or something that I dreamt
