It's a good thing dreams are really surreal then. I can separate my dreams nicely because I can't for the life of me jump 3 stores high and parkour to the edge of a glass dome while being chased.
I sometimes have dreams where I am just watching tv with some friends, or where I am programming or reading something online. And indeed, months later usually, it feels like that actually happened.
I wish I had more down to earth dreams, really. It is cool to be in a totally different reality, and sometimes when I get a little self-aware in a dream and I concentrate on figuring out whether I'm dreaming, the dream just become more realistic. Like entering a building made of a maze of stairs and actually smelling and feeling the texture of wood. But since my dreams are so disconnected from my daily reality they just fade to oblivion eventually.
