I think I might be losing my mind...

[(Anonymous)]

So, earlier I was supposed to meet up with my dad for him to help me with my car. We didn't have a set time, my mom said he didn't really have any plans, so I should just call whenever and I could go over then since my parents live close by and it wouldn't take long.

I had an appointment super early this morning and since my dad wasn't in any hurry and I haven't gotten much sleep lately, I decided to sleep for a couple hours when I got home from my appointment, and then call him when I woke up.

Anyway, I went to sleep and woke up at some point, checked my phone, and saw a text from my mom saying there's some new virus out there and I should be careful (not at all out of character for her, she worries a lot), and then another one a few minutes later saying my dad decided to go to the gym (something he does frequently, and sometimes decides spur of the moment, so not unreasonable) and he could help me later in the afternoon. I thought "ok, that's fine with me, I can get some more sleep" and went back to bed.

Then when I woke up again, it had been a couple hours and I decided to text her to see if he was back yet and if now would be a good time. I grabbed my phone, opened the app and...nothing. The last text from her was from early this morning after I left my appointment, about something completely unrelated.

Apparently I had dreamed those texts?! I ended up calling her and she confirmed my dad had been home all day and was just hanging around the house and was available whenever was good for me.

Thinking about it, I had been reading an article on my phone about a new virus before I went to sleep, so maybe that's where that came from and her worrying and him going to the gym are common occurrences so there's no reason they wouldn't be in my subconscious.

It's just so weird. I've dreamed about getting texts from people before, but as soon as I wake up, I realize it was just a dream. But this time I didn't...it wasn't until I went to respond to the text that I realized it didn't really happen, and it kind of scares me and makes me wonder if there's something wrong with my brain or something.

I don't know, has anyone else had something similar happen to them?

When I worked for a software company I started dreaming in regular expressions for a while, but I'm not sure that's quite the same.

I have this happen all the time. Many of my dreams are really mundane real life things, and they tend to slot easily into "memory" instead of "dream." It's not until something comes up that makes me really think about it that I go "huh" and realize nope, that was all a dream.

Yes, not for a while, but I've had that happen. Imagined a whole conversation that never took place.

Oh, yeah. Like most of the time there's some aspect of my dream weird enough for me to realize that it wasn't real, but occasionally I have a really boring dream that's just about some everyday detail like going grocery shopping. Then I wake up and later I get confused because hey, didn't I buy cottage cheese this week? Where is it? It's really dumb, but it happens.
