Does anyone else have slightly blurred lines between dreams and reality?

Or find that memories are open to a bit of persuasion?

I often have moments where I realise “oh that must have been a dream” (my dreams can be both vivid and dull)

If someone disagrees with my memory of a past event, their version starts to over write mine, even if I’ve got proof.

And recently I lost a dead friend and I find myself looking for his face in every man of a similar build and it struck me that if I did see him, I think my mind would effortlessly shrug off the shock and grief of the last few weeks as “must have been a bad dream”.

I was watching a Sandra Bullock movie where she learns her dh is dead, and the next morning wakes up to him showering in the en-suite and it got me thinking about whether her reactions (complete certainty of her experiences and a fear of going mad) was an NT thing, or just Hollywood unrealism?

I was actually going to post something like this the other day but I forgot.
My dreams are hyper realistic so sometimes I have what I think is a memory but actually it's a memory of my dream.

I thought there would be more comments on this.
Can't just be us surely?

I used to have a recurring dream where I would remember I had another flat in a different part of town. In my dream I would be visiting my other flat. When I woke up I would think "I really must go to see my other flat, I haven't been there for a while, I hope it's OK". Then after a couple of seconds I would realise that I don't have another flat, that it was all another of my dreams. They were always such nice dreams even though the other flats were not luxurious. Always different flats.
