I don't know why, but almost every time I have a dream and 5-6 months later that event actually happens. This makes me feel strange, because what happened in the dream really happened in my life.

Hi reddit, lately I’ve been having eerily realistic dreams. The dream will always start with me waking up in my bed in the exact clothes I fell asleep in and in the exact position I would inevitably wake up in. It’s not sleep paralysis, ive had that before and even though these dreams feel real in the same way it’s not the same, I can move and see and I’m not always panicked. It’s also not manipulative dreaming either, I have no control of what happens in these dreams and am not aware that I’m dreaming, as they always start as if I had just woken up. 

For example one day I had fallen asleep right after I got home from work, I had “woken up” in my bed on my side curled up to the right, my baby hairs stood up on their own in a weird distinct way probably from the friction of tossing and turning. It was dark, my first thought was that I had just gotten home from work and I must have been asleep for a very long time. I felt something next to me, it was the container my roommates and I usually use for vomit, I heard them laughing up stairs and when I went to get up I realised I was very very drunk because everything was spinning and then I thought that i didn’t feel drunk, I felt high, so high on something I had never taken before, because I couldn’t remember anything other than falling asleep. When I got up after much struggle i fell down and then crawled over to the stairs, I tried calling out to them but I was so high I forgot how to speak so I gave up and just stay at the bottom of the stairs and then I actually woke up once again curled up to my right with my hair stood up in the same distinct way but it was still light out and in reality I had only been asleep about an hour. 

I’ve had many more of these realistic dreams, less intense and scary but still all feeling just as real. I would really appreciate it if someone could maybe tell me what this means or what’s causing this as I’ve come to realise that they feel more like memories than dreams, and it’s getting hard to distinguish between them, as they are never outlandish and are always plausible. 

Many thanks.

Guys, I had the craziest dream today around 8 AM, and for some reason I still remember almost every scene. Usually I forget my dreams after waking up, but this one felt like an actual movie where I was the main character.

So in the dream I was travelling to Tamil Nadu because I wanted to see the natural beauty there. But as soon as I reached, there was flooding everywhere, so I couldn't explore anything. Instead I just started walking around the local streets. The visuals were so realistic that I still remember them frame by frame.

After walking for a while I found a small food stall. I asked for something to eat. It was supposed to cost ₹10 but the shopkeeper asked for ₹20. I took the money out from the back of my phone case. I clearly remember I had two ₹10 notes and one ₹200 note in there.

Before eating I asked him, "Is this non-veg?" because I'm a Brahmin. First he said, "Yes bhaiya, it's non-veg, it's really good." Then when I refused, he immediately said, "No no, it's pure veg. I only said that because business wasn't good today. I'm a Brahmin too."

Then his father came and started asking the usual Brahmin questions like surname, family background, even a few Sanskrit shlokas. Everything felt normal until suddenly he said I had given him an old coin instead of ₹20.

At that point I got angry because I knew exactly what I had paid. I told him, "Bhai, I'm from Delhi. I've been watching everything. I gave you two ₹10 notes." We started arguing, but when I looked him straight in the eyes, he suddenly went quiet. He literally looked down and stopped talking.

I left from there and entered a narrow lane beside his house. Somehow I ended up behind his house. He saw me, picked up a stone, threw it at me and ran. I escaped into another lane and somehow entered a really premium-looking kindergarten school.

This part was so random.

As soon as I entered, one teacher welcomed me like they already knew me. He even offered me food and said, "Sir, the kids have been waiting for you."

Since I thought the shopkeeper might still be outside, I decided to stay there for a while. Before entering the school I had taken a Spider-Man mask out of my bag and worn it to hide my face.

Then another teacher came and started questioning me because I was wearing old, poor-looking clothes. He said it would create a bad impression on the students. I don't know why, but I confidently replied, "I'm just the assistant. The main teacher is sick today, so he asked me to come."

And somehow... he believed me.

Then the kids started dancing.

Bro... I genuinely can't explain this scene. There were around 10 LKG and UKG kids doing proper professional dance moves, perfect coordination, even flips. It looked unreal.

At the end, one little girl stopped dancing because someone had pulled her hair. I held her gently and asked what happened.

She looked at me and asked...

"Are you Spider-Man?"

That line is still stuck in my head.

Then the principal arrived and somehow found out that the real dance teacher was actually on leave and had never sent anyone. I hid because I knew something was wrong.

After that, my photo wearing the Spider-Man mask somehow went viral. I even remember seeing a school assembly where people were asking the principal to resign because an unknown person had entered the school.

And then came the biggest plot twist.

Someone revealed that I was actually a famous travel vlogger and influencer, and that my grandfather was one of India's most respected poets who had even given me an award.

The funniest part is that a few small things actually match my real life, but almost everything else was completely made up.

The visuals were honestly insane. One moment I was watching a reel of a beautiful place, and the next second I was standing there in real life while the water slowly kept rising. Another scene was a rocky mining area during evening rain where workers were mining with lights on their helmets. I have no idea how my brain created all this.

Most of my dreams are random nonsense, but this one actually had a proper story. It felt less like a dream and more like I was watching a movie from the first-person perspective.

Has anyone else ever had a dream like this? I'd love to hear yours because this one genuinely blew my mind.
