I occasionally have issues where I believe the previous nights dreams to be reality. Have never thought that reality was a dream though. Maybe there is a problem with your meds. You should talk to your doc about this.

That's something you should probably talk to your doc about. I've had trouble knowing if something I remember happening was a dream or actually happened, and that's usually when I'm really sleep deprived, but I don't think that's the same thing as what you're describing. Try to keep track of instances of that happening and talk to your doc about it.

I think I wrote that wrong, Its hard to describe. I know reality is reality. However I don't know if my "dreams" are reality.......okay now I'm bugging myself out

Hi Hon,
These are delusions. You need to go see the doc. Dont ignore it! It will become a problem. Dont panic!
I start arguements over something that hasnt happened but I think it has. Fine line between daydream and delusion. You do describe yourself very well if u know where yer comin from

I made an appt. with my pdoc but i feel like he can't ansewr my questons as well as people who have been there or are there, like all of you!!!

i have dreams and have to ask the person i dreamed about if it really happened or not. that happened last week. they look at me like i'm crazy but i'm used to that.

I have been known to fall asleep Monday night and waking up Thursday morning. Not that is not technically true, that is just what I remember. I have found emails I have written or recieved that I cannot ever seeing. Phone calls that I have made I dont remember. I have even called my kids and yelled at them for not calling their mother like good children and they remind me I talked to them two days ago. These things usually happen when I change a med, I am sick (physically) or have had some stress in my life.

Please disregard all the typo's in my previous post. Sheesh.

I forget plans I have made, things I need to do, talking to various people in the past few days. Only, I don't just forget these things, it is like they never had a place in my mind, they are totally gone, wiped from my memory. It scares me sometimes, but I attribute most of it to intense anxiety and stress. Get many a lecture from my boyfriend about not living up to my responsibilities, even if it's the smallest thing. I don't think he realizes this doesn't help.

It was over a decade ago that I had difficulty in the areas you're describing.

Dreams and reality were so twined together.. the hallucinations and delusions.. it was intensely complex. But, each of those are seperate entities. Definable. So we sort through to find which is which. Therapy and meds. Therapy and meds.

Don't laugh, but I have seen gremlins hiding in my closet. This usually happens when I'm avoiding some issue in my life. I also lose time, but not days. I've had friends with mpd and they lose days at a time. Please check with your dr. about these things happening to you. It could be that your meds need adjusting.

oh definitely!! it's so funny u ask because i just wondered if i sent someone a frustrating message, or if i dreamed it... People's conversations in 'real life' seem like dreams all the time, or else I forget completely what we've talked about.. or someone will tell me to bring something next time I see them, totally escapes my mind... IT SUCKS!! for me it's mainly my short term memory.. I dont think they'd be called delusions.. but dunno for sure.
The one thing i wish i would start doing, but probably forgot to (jk) is writing everything down,, that's why i'm so glad i journal here, and take lots of pics.. but even having a phone conversation log, or something like that, may help.
And I'm so glad u brought it up, because i really need to do those things!
good luck with this issue

have you ever heard of parallel lives? you might want to do a search online, I believe our dreams can be real .... if you want, email me off group and I'll share my thoughts with you ... peace, liz

oh god - that happens to me quite alot. It used to happen to me so badly I woudl start talking to people about what they had done in my dreams - thinking it was real. Just stupid things. I don't think its delusion - just an active and vivid imagination which sometimes crosses over!! haha - sometimes I think its quite fun

Thanks for all your replies! I'm sory I wasn't on to be here to read them until today. I've been caught in that funny place between being manic and depressed.And just don't know what to do with myself....do I sit here and cry or be overly hyper... my mind can't decide. Now that I'm done babbling I'll get to the point---had to take my meds and go lay down
