Confused between a dream and real life.......

Tweet

Does anyone else experience this? (real life) - my alarm clock is buzzing (dream) - telephone is ringing In my dream I try to answer the phone, but I can't pick it up & it keeps ringing. When I finally wake up, I realize that it's the alarm clock and not my phone. Sometimes I try to answer the phone in real life, but no one is there because it's actually my alarm clock. It also happens the other way. It may actually be my phone ringing & I try to turn off my alarm. Another example: (real life) - slapping my husband in his crotch area (dream) - playing basketball I dreamt that I was playing basketball and I was dribbling the ball down the court. I was rudely interrupted from my sleep by screams of pain and agony. When I opened my eyes, my husband looked as if he just experienced the worse pain of his life. I then realized that while I was dribbling the ball in my dream, in real life I was slapping my husband in his crotch. He said I was hitting it pretty hard too. Has anything like this happened to anyone else? If so, tell me about it so I don't feel as though I'm weird and alone. I need to know that this is normal. Thanks!!
