    Anecdotal, but I once dreamed an entire Wednesday. Got up went to work, a few hours in realised it was Wednesday all over again.

    I suspect that one’s mind can differentiate a dream from reality because dreams are not a simulation, they are not internally consistent or even generally comprehensible, while reality is.

      In the high stress times of college, on multiple occasions I dreamed my entire morning routine and walk to class, only to wake up and do it all again.

      One time I dreamed the whole thing, “woke up” and did it again, but THAT one was also a dream, woke up for real and did it all again a 3rd time.

          It was in the midst of my 4000 level classes, maybe 3 hours of sleep for several days in a row, not eating right, all that shit will ruin your mind

      I once was stuck in a loop… for an entire year. It felt like a year too and waking up was something that made me happy.
