Trouble Distinguishing Dreams From Reality

Question
I occasionally have trouble distinguishing dreams from reality. Because I often dream about mundane, everyday situations, I am sometimes unsure if I really had a conversation with someone or if I just dreamed it. Is this normal?


Answer
Yes this happens more so if you awake up in the middle of the dream .Our brains are scheduled to awaken and go to sleep together and sometimes its natural phenomenon that you literally are still asleep, yet awake and dreaming. Dreams are very vivid.   It also can happen when we remember our dreams, dreams are remembered when they arent finished, so that could be what is happening to you. but its normal. go to sleepnet.com click on dreaming or the forum.   feel free to email again karel. However if your daytime alertness is being affected by this than thats a whole other story.
