Today, I had an awful dream where my uncle died from a massive heart attack. When I woke up, my brain interpreted the dream as being a real thing that really happened. It wasn't until my uncle called and asked me why everyone thought he was dead that I finally came to my senses. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up from a vivid dream in which I murdered my entire family. It took 20 minutes after waking up, drenched in sweat and tears, to realize I'm not a murderer and my life is OK. This dream is recurring. FML
Today, I had to comfort my husband after he had a dream in which both his parents died. He was really upset. Both my parents are dead… in real life. FML
Today, I had a dream I saw my dad. I tried to talk to him, but then I woke up. He died last Monday. FML
Today, I got to find out for myself if dying in a dream causes you to die in real life. FML
Today, I had a dream in which I was having a panic attack. When I woke up, I was actually having a panic attack. Double the fun. FML
Today, I had such a realistic dream that I was about to be hanged by the neck until I was dead. I was dropped through the hole and I felt the noose snap my neck at the exact moment I woke up. I ended up crying in my wife’s arms for a solid five minutes. Now I’m afraid to sleep, maybe forever. FML
Today, I woke up and realized that the "nice dream" I'd had was just about talking to people. FML
Today, I woke up sweating and gasping for air after having a terrible nightmare. The nightmare involved my deceased mother-in-law bitching me out for being a bad influence on her daughter and threatening to cut my nuts off. Even in death, she won't leave me be. FML
Today, I woke up from another nightmare, this time drowning in a rogue wave. I could feel the water and rain. I could feel myself gasping for air as I don't know how to swim, and can barely float. I'm scared if I die in my sleep, I die for real. FML
Today, I dreamed that I cheated on my boyfriend. I was so overwhelmed with guilt that I called him while half-asleep to tell him about it and apologize. I'm fully awake now and he doesn't believe it was really a dream. FML

So you woke up called folks and told them your uncle died but not your uncle? Was ambian or drugs involved that made you lose touch with reality

Why wouldn't you have called him to make sure he's ok before spreading bad news?

maybe it's a prophetic dream, maybe it will happen, but I know death in dreams can mean rebirth too, maybe new changes are coming for your uncle, I pray for that ❤️❤️

Seriously? You told people he was dead because you couldn't differentiate between a dream and reality? ThAts not normal. Not at all.

it's actually pretty common, what's not normal is that op didn't verify anything before telling everyone it was real.

even if you thought it was real, you should have been the last one calling family to make that announcement. that would fall to a spouse, children or siblings. the fact you can't differentiate dreams from reality is a bigger problem

who told everyone he was dead? did you tell everyone he was dead before checking on him? that doesnt sound right.
