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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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.

18- that's called "blackout drunk"
TabooSushi 24
Nope, happens even when you aren't drunk. Source: It's happened to me, and I don't drink except on special occasions, and never to the point of being drunk.

yeaaah, you don't have to be drunk for that to happen, it's happened to me as well

Luckily it was just a book. I shutter to think that this happens with some thing really serious.

One day, I dreamed I had a cat. After I woke up, I was crying because I couldn't find it. Then I realised I didn't have one.

I hate it when I have conversations with people in my dreams and I later bring them up while talking to them in reality, then I realize how stupid I look since the conversation never took place. ******* brain.

My best friend does that to me ALL THE TIME! She'll start talking to me and I'm all like: "what?" Then she makes a face and says, oh, that was a dream! ? OP, this is so common. I dreamt there was cheese in my house once. Woke up, was gonna make me a sandwich... no cheese. Devastation doesn't even begin to cover it.

I dream sometimes of conversations I want to have with someone like my mother, so sometimes I ask if I had told her something before I continue in case it had only happened in a dream. Dreams are tricky.

Have you tried using a spinning top?

Brain: 1. OP: 0, because you were unprepared for lecture. How disappointing.
