Lately I've been having dreams that just seem so real. I wake up and it feels like it really happened. It's so incredibly weird because sometimes I have to actually think about if whatever I dreamed about happened in real life or not. They drive me insane. Is there any feed back anyone can give me? Like, why they seem so unbelievable real or if you've ever had dreams like that? Anything at all, thanks. (link)
Yeah I get those occasionally, usually when I'm worrying about something a lot or I'm confused about a situation. It's like your mind can't think of anything else and is processing it on conscious and subconscious levels which are then bound to get mixed up since they're working on the same issue in different ways.

That's my experience of it anyway but there's a whole load of psychologists studying sleep and the brain at the moment because we know so little about it. If you want to explore your dreams on a more scientific level (to explain the whys and wherefores etc) start by searching False Memories and that should lead you in pretty much the right direction.
