I have had similar experiences. I posted a discussion (dreams/reality) on 1/29/07 basically asking the same question.

I experience this frequently with my husband. I have always just accused him of not listening to me. Like you I have a very vivid memory of when I told him whatever it was that he claims I did not. Now that I have read your note I have to wonder myself. How is it you can have such a vivid memeory of an event that never took place?

My husband the one who has Narcolepsy.He was diagnose in June 2006.After doing resource by myself,my husband and you can
can relate,you can all relate it not just
feeling sleepy all the time it effect you
socially, physically,emontion etc..(you know what I mean)This was are number one
argument,he would say I told you that,or you told me this yesterday etc.He would swear up and down,I know I told you.When I say resources getting on the web talking to Narcolepic people.Thank you all,everytime I get on here you help me Understand more.One thing what Came out of this we don't argue over this any more.
If he said I told you this or You told me that.I understand It's not his fault,He ask me now, if I told him this or did you tell me that etc.. We communicate more now.I learned to be more patience with him.But I think he understand what going on with his self,By me reading your inputs on here.He can relate to you all.I talk to co-worker and family and friends all the time about Narcolepsy and what effects it has on a person. The first thing people say OH you have Narcolepsy, that means you can fall asleep at anytime,you feel tired all the time right.But there more to it then that.

i started logging things i experienced quite a while ago when it seemed i was getting hacked. now i do it for how i feel daily almost like a journal, this way i know what i said and what was said to me. also it helps me to remember things i forgot.

I too have had this become an issue in my life. Sometimes I do KNOW that I remember it, other times I know to ask those around me... Yet when I KNOW I remember there is still that self doubt. It kinda messes with your brain! For me I try to accept it. My husband at this point knows that it is not my fault, which can help, though it does/can cause problems. Now even when I KNOW, I kinda lose credibility with him... He doesn't admit that maybe he could be wrong/or he just wasn't listening..., he just responds with "I must have been dreaming"...

I hope I'm not sounding too negative for you... I wanted you to know that you're not alone... It's quite bizarre how realistic our dreams can be, many days a week I wake up and ask my husband, "Did this happen?".

You are not nuts, you are simply narcoleptic! I have had similar things happen to me and would argue my version of reality to the end. However after awhile you have to realize not everyone is wrong. I can remember getting mad at my husband for something he did in a dream. It would be funny after I realized it was a dream. I have learned to laugh about it and luckily so have the people in my life!

my dreams are terrifying. I take meds to make me not go to that dream state with paralysis. The meds sometimes do not help; I can not tell what is real when they occure. I have even called the police to come because someone was in my house with weapons trying to kill me!! as far people telling me those things like you are messaging . I get told what i did while i was in that dream state. My sleep schedule is very non-compromising.That helps me to know that is i did something at 11pm or so on i was asleep or i did something at 11am i was awake. I hope good for you. Narcolepsy can drag you into depression and or something else.
