Today, I forgot an important book for school, because I dreamt that I was putting it in my bag. My brain somehow classified it as reality. This isn't the first time my dreams have trolled me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my laziness reached an all-time high. I had a dream that I was at school and had spilled all the contents of my backpack onto the floor. I then purposely shook myself out of my sleep to avoid cleaning up the mess in my dream. FML
Today, I had a beautiful dream. I dreamed that I somehow got into Stanford University, but in class I couldn't keep up with them. In reality, I'm terrible at school. FML
Today, I realized that I'm not cut out for school when I flunked out… in my dreams. FML
Today, my professor cancelled class so I turned off my alarm. When I woke up, I checked my email again. There was no email from my professor. It was a dream. FML
Today, I had a "nightmare" where I found out I had more homework than I originally realized, and spent the entire dream doing homework. There is no escape. FML
Today, I woke up to the realization that I had slept through my alarm, missed a crucial work meeting, and dreamt that I was the CEO of a company that manufactured alarm clocks. I now fear that my subconscious is mocking me. FML
Today, I had a dream where I whacked my head against my shelf. I woke up immediately after, freaked out and whacked my head against my shelf. FML
Today, I’ve dreamt of going back to high school so many times, every morning I wake up thinking I finished it twice and still have all my friends. FML
Today, I had a dream that I had to abandon my shopping at the checkout due to lack of funds. Even in my dreams I don’t have any money. FML
Today, my book bag was so heavy that it set off my car's passenger detection system in the front seat. I had to buckle in my textbooks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Oh I've done that many times as well. I once dreamed we had a new puppy when I was little and I remember waking up so upset because it wasn't real. I still remember what my dream puppy looked like. I've also turned my alarms off in the morning and fallen asleep instantly and dreamt I had gotten up and got ready for work which then of course made me run late. I'm a weird sleeper.

I once dreamed I woke up, did my morning rituals, packed my briefcase and filled up my travel mug. I then woke up with ten minutes to leave for work. I dashed out of the shower, grabbed my briefcase and coffee mug, and headed out the door. I discovered there was neither coffee in my mug, nor the paperwork I needed that day in my briefcase. I feel for you.

How do you know you're not still dreaming right now?

I honestly ask myself that question everyday.

Haha this happens to me too ... Sometimes in my dreams I receive messages and delete them, and when I wake up I'm double trolled.

We aren't so different after all! This happens to me all the time. I will dream about having a conversation with someone. When I wake up I will continue the conversation yet they have no idea what I'm taking about.

I feel your pain. I used to have this accursed dream where I get up and go to the bathroom to pee. I would start and it would hit some kind of invisible wall and get on me. Sometimes that would make me stop, and sometimes I would just keep going because I saw the reason that I was wet. Try playing that off when you have a wife and kids that like making jokes lol. The "that's just sweat" excuse only makes it worse btw. I'm STILL living in fear and I'm in my thirties.

I dream on a regular basis of waking up, getting dressed, and eating cereal. Then I actually wake up, extremely confused as to why I'm in bed hungry. I feel like pretty much everybody has had mundane dreams like that, that the brain files into the memory category instead of the dream category.

I did something similar. I dreamed that I put my graphing calculator in my bag for a calculus final exam. I live an hour away from campus and didn't notice until I was sitting in the exam room. It was actually snowing that day too. First time it had snowed in Louisiana in years.

your subconscious sounds like an asshole.
