Yesterday I was dealing with a minor situation with a sibling where there were some minor hurt feelings - nothing major. Somehow overnight, I continued this discussion and situation into my dreams. It was extremely realistic and in the dream my sibling took the situation a step further and did something quite unfair, causing more hurt. In my dream, I dealt with the situation as it unfolded and all the further outcomes of that and we eventually reached some form of resolution but still with hurt feelings. I woke up this morning, not realizing that the escalation had been a dream. I thought it had all transpired before I went to bed last night. Then I went to look at a text sibling had sent and the text wasn't there. I couldn't find any of the texts / calls that had gone back and forth related to the escalation. I was initially very confused but as I went back over the whole scenario, I realized that the timeline wouldn't have made sense as I could see the last text I sent before going to sleep and it was clearly before the whole escalating situation happened. It was only then that I realized it must have happened in a dream while I slept.
It is so strange. It still feels like it was real and the conversations were real and the feelings were real and now I am trying to stop feeling hurt about something that didn't even happen. I am relieved they didn't do what I thought they did! I don't recall ever having had such a realistic dream that just carried on from real life like that before. It is a bit discombobulating!
Anyone have this happen before?
