A small portion of my dreams are lucid almost every night. Sometimes, I confuse reality for dreams.
Such as, last night, I dreamt that it was today, Sunday, and that I pulled up to work. I was getting my things out of my car and walking towards the building. Then, I had an epiphany: I remembered that I had Asset Management Training that I was supposed to do on Wednesday. It was the last shot to actually get the training in and I was super worried about missing the training a second time. I couldn't believe that I missed the training as I set an alarm on my phone for that day and there was no way I could have missed that alarm as I was awake at the time. I then had thoughts of why my phone didn't go off.
I then worried about what my boss was going to say or how he was going to fix the situation. I was carrying my Lunch box and pulling my tote bag in my right hand. I was walking on the side-walk. When I got to about the 7th to last cement panel (I was looking down while thinking), I realized that there is nothing that could be done about it and I didn't need the training anyway. I reassured myself that the training was difficult to actually attend as I am off on Wednesday's, anyway. I then set my lunchbox down, which was in my left hand, then used my left hand to scan into the security panel to unlock the door.
I told you all that to tell you this: I realized today, on my way to work, when I was experiencing the deja vu moment, that the training was next Wednesday. I was like, "ah damn. I was worried about nothing." as the dream was so real that I just assumed that it was a truth. (I thought about missing asset training, earlier today, and just assumed that I had missed it and started to think about what the boss was going to do.)
Another lucid dream that I had recently was about my razor. I dreamt that my wife had placed it in the cabinet above the toilet. The next morning, when I went to shave, I went straight for the cabinet, honestly assuming that the razor was placed that because I "saw" my wife do it in the dream. When I couldn't find it, I became frustrated. I then realized that it was still on the right of my sink in the bathroom, where I had left it. Then I realized that my wife had only put it in the cabinet in my dream.
I know this isn't the same as a dream coming true, but is it a dream that I thought was true, with full honesty, but realized it wasn't.
I asked inimalist about this and he said it is normal, so I don't feel so bad about it. However, I do feel quite foolish when the epiphany hits me.

No, but i have had the feeling i've seen aspects of some scenarios in dreams. A sort of wierd deja-vu-ish thing.
i feel this a lot. just recently, i had a couple of recurring dreams of a) i turned on the faucet and it wouldn't shut off, and b) i had no control over a car i was driving.
and i did that, once, after all those dreams. i turned on a faucet and i couldn't turn it off. it's a freaky deja-vu because this happening has happened in a lot of dreams, recurring and recurring. so when i got there in real life, it was just one of those moments where you feel like you understand it all and then - wham! it's too big for you so you go into shock mode.
it happened with the car, too. i was backing it out of a driveway, and had released the parking lever. i hadn't put my keys in yet though, but the car rolled backward with increasing speed and stepping on the brakes didn't work so i sat there with the creepy shock feeling until the car came to a stop going up the driveway across the street.
it's very weird. now, it's like that's what needed to happen, because i don't have those dreams any more. i'm always in control of the car, and the i never have difficulties with a faucet whilst dreaming. there have been a lot of other things as well, just little everyday things that i dream about extremely often and then happen, or i'll see something and remember a snippet of dream.
crazy stuff, man.
I had a nightmare about going to school and that was true.
Also, I'm getting a lot of Anime dreams. Sure makes me wish I can somehow be in the world of Anime/Manga and meet everybody. Oddly I had one dream about me hugging Tsunade (before you ask, no I don't have a geek crush on her) 😐
There was also one dream where I was at a wedding with the entire Bleach cast there. The ones getting married I think were Ichigo and Orihime and I kinda wanted to get out of there because Ikakku kept challenging me to a fight. The only reason I didn't leave was because Rangiku wanted me to sit next to her.
