think that you might have memories that might actually just be a dream that you've had? like all these time you thought it was legitimate history when it fact it was just something you've dreamt up?

sure some dreams are easier to distinguish but what if it didn't involve elements out of the ordinary? like what if it's as common as someone borrowing money from you? or a simple convo?

coz i can remember loaning money out to somebody but she says now that it didn't happen. but then one of my friends gave me some money the other day saying they're sorry that it took them forever and I'm like: "huh what money?" so it could be true.

then I've had that dream ?? (hallucination) about bracelet chains in the middle of a convo about bank-related stuff with an old dude. but i snapped out of it coz it was a huge contrast from the reality of the actual moment that my brain instantly recognized it was fake.

Well, not really like that.

But I’ve had odd feelings of “deja vu” like pulling to a drive-through coffee and ordering something, and just a feeling of I’ve been there before. Now, as a matter of fact, I have been there many times but not every day and not same drink and not same weather.

I don’t know how to explain it 😬

But it felt like re-living the same day over again. Exactly the same. Just weird, I tell ya!

yeah I've had that at times too. does it make you wanna change something? sometimes it makes me wanna do something else. like do you feel compelled to order a different think like maybe it would break the chain or smthng?

one time i thought i was having a dream and i was so convinced I was dreaming that there would be zero consequence. this is so stupid i smashed my laptop coz I was having a dream about breaking stuff lol not gonna detail that but my dad was pissed (this was couple years ago) 😂😂 even more pissed when i told him my dream made me do it.

now it makes me wonder if i can unknowingly build resentment or love for someone if my consciousness works this way.

All the time

Like I have this memory of going somewhere in a cab and getting laid

I’m trying to remember where and I can’t so it must just all be a dream 😅


right? you never really know for sure unless it's on social media or you wrote it down somewhere or there was a friend to tell the story. sometimes i think i have dementia but I'm only 29.

it's easier to tell if maybe you rode a flying cab or whatever. then you know for sure it didn't happen.

sometimes when you think you're dreaming, you do a lot of dumb crap acting like you're in a videogame. i feel so scared for myself sometimes.

Yes, all the time. You should look in to dissociation if it's that severe that you're literally confusing dreams with reality. I struggle with episodes of this as well, derealization and depersonalization. I *touch wood* haven't had it too severely in a while, but it can be very scary. I didn't know what it was for a long time and then I googled it when it got really bad, I would try to describe it to people but could never put it in to words.

It would happen to me in really familiar places, all of sudden it was like I was viewing them from a different angle, like I knew the place and I knew where I was, I was just viewing it from someone else's eyes.. idk how describe it but it was very disorienting. It would feel like you said.. like a video game, a dream, like it was fake.


I'm starting to think it's some mental health thing coz that one hallucination happened coz I was so busy that I hadn't slept for 2 days.

And yes I also tried to describe it quietly to some people that know me intimately but I suppose their dreams just aren't as mixed up with reality like mine.

In the middle of one of convo with that old dude it was as if I was transported from my boring desk to some dark place where I can see the back of 2 heads (2 people) seemingly connected by a chain of some kind.

in the middle of our convo about bank statements, I said casually:

"have the bracelets removed and we'll see how it goes."

then I snapped out of it. I remember being mortified how even for a heartbeat I thought that was reality. everything looked so real, every detail. what if somebody out there actually lived like that in a more constant state? that lasted like a minute for me but what if there are people who lived that way 24/7? hell I'm not even on any drug far as I know. it was pure fatigue.
