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.

sometimes I wonder if our subconscious' hate us. I've been trolled by my dreams so many times before. I do feel for you though, OP, and whichever book this was I do hope you could borrow it from a friend, and you didn't get into too much trouble from forgetting it!

I once dreamt I peed myself. This has happened plenty of times...

This sucks and has happened to most people once. However, I feel that you deserve a vat to be thrown at you for saying "my brain trolled me." I mean really, trolled? Not tricked? Not screwed me over? Not derped? Trolled.... Shaking my damn head.

Multiple times, I've had dreams that I was getting really important or nice texts from someone and I'd wake up with my phone in my hand and super confused as to where the texts went and why they weren't responding anymore.

I once dreamed that I ate breakfast. I was so confused when my mom told me breakfast was ready!

I've totally 'gotten ready for work/school' while still in bed, and then didn't end up having enough time to do so when I finally woke up enough to know it was a dream.
