Have you ever had a dream you felt was so real and even when you woke up, took you a while to realize it wasn't real?

It's been happening to me a fair bit lately 😂

This doesn't happen to me often and the last one was so long ago I can't remember. A closer one however is when my dreams invent a concept that could effect me in real life while simultaneously being a nightmare. Those effect me for a while after but fortunately for me they are also super rare.

The last one I was in some kind of police office and I was going to be interrogated. I still don't really know for what and people in the building were behaving really off. So I figured I had to get out of there, and there wasn't anything preventing me to do so. As I was prepared to leave the whole building started chasing me although not at running speeds more like a fast walking pace and one grabbed my arm.

During this I saw the year 2023 (The year the dream happened) as well as the situation in the background. 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027. Then it stopped. 2027 was the last year shown to me and by then the corruption was complete. It was an invasive demonic energy that was robbing everyone of their soul and the one grabbing my arm was showing me that by 2027 even the most strong willed people would be taken over. And it was implied that this energy could infect you trough your dreams.

What did it do to you if you got robbed of your soul and taken over? It robbed you off all your individuality. You mindlessly complied with whatever you were told, you just lived like so many others do without any semblance of thought and no real individuality. You become exactly like so many people are already are where they just follow whatever the accepted norms are. You know, the ones from the NPC meme.

When I woke up it was implied that the dream and her grabbing me took a bit of me and I am now less myself than before. It also implied this evil real force is corrupting us and that its the reason on why people seem so illogical and weak minded sometimes like they are hypnotized or programmed. Obviously the dream was merely a dream and it was borrowing some inspiration from things I actually observe, but its the first dream I had in years that effected me that strongly once I woke up. I had to calm myself down for a while and reaffirm none of that was real.

Of course!!! I have PTSD and can wake up swinging. Last month I dive off the bed and face planted into night stand and then fell in floor. Ruined some nice linens with the blood! 🤬

Happened a lot to me, sometime I wonder during days if it was reel or fake, they were a time when I was depressed I wasn't able to distinguish dream from reality
