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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, four hours before a test, I received an email from my professor saying that the test had been canceled. When I checked my email again before bed, I found another email from my professor saying that his email had been hacked and the test was was still on. FML
Today, I woke up at 7, got to college by 7:40 to receive an email that my 8:00 a.m. class got cancelled. I stayed there until 12:00 p.m. for my second class, to then find out that the cancelled class was the one at 12:00, not 8:00. FML
Today, my alarm went off, and in my half-asleep state, I grabbed my phone and snoozed it. When I woke up an hour later, I realized I'd actually snoozed my work email notification for the same amount of time, and my boss was emailing me every five minutes, asking where I was. FML
Today, I fell asleep in class. I'm the teacher. FML
Today, I was woken up from a phone call from my boss. He asked if I had been asleep. I told him I wasn't, that I was in my car on the way to work. Then my alarm went off. FML
Today, I set my alarm to wake up early for work. It turns out I set it for PM instead of AM. I woke up to my boss calling me, asking if I was still alive. 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 woke up from an amazing dream. I dreamt that I got a promotion at work and doubled my income, the dream was so great that I tried so hard not to wake up. When I did wake up it was 10 o'clock, two hours late for work I noticed I had a voicemail from my boss. I was fired for being late. FML
Today, during a virtual class, I thought I was muted and said, “I’m gonna fake a technical issue and take a nap.” The professor responded, “Let us know how the nap goes.” I never logged back in. FML
Today, I found out that my professor dropped me from class because I missed a Zoom meeting. The only class I needed to graduate. Why did I miss the meeting? Because I was in labor for 32 hours. FML

I remember the time when I was sleeping while the TV was on, and I was responding to the questions asked in the show out loud, because I woke myself up answering a question.

I've done that before...or had a dream that I was already in class/awake. Those are the worst dreams because of how much they throw off your day.

I've had dreams that I did a full day at work, and then woke up and realized I still had to go to work even though I felt like I should be going home instead of just getting up. Definitely messes you up for the day!

You were able to relax, though. You're rested for the work you're going to have to make up :D

If your professor canceling class is a dream. Wouldn't turning off your alarm also be a dream? Unless you woke up to turn your alarm off.

Some people do things like that in their sleep. Or some semi-conscious sleep state. Like sleep walking

I think he meant that when his alarm went off at its regularly scheduled time, he turned the alarm off and then went back to sleep. upon awakening he rechecked the email to see if there was a reading assignment associated with the cancelled class. /detectivemode

This happened to me once. Exact same scenario, except I woke up on my own seven minutes before class started. Realized it was a dream, panicked, threw on some clothes, and sprinted across campus to class. Made it there just in time.

So wait, your professor cancelled class in a dream, but somehow you managed to turn off your alarm... In real life?

It happens. REM sleep which is the stage where you dream is fairly close to being awake. It's not impossible to wake up for a few seconds then go right back into the dream. I've sent plenty of odd texts that way then have to explain them away after I'm fully awake

Maybe if it was a psychology professor he'll understand
