Anyone ever get memories of dreams and memories of reality mixed up?

I'm sure I saw once Sting in a pub cheering on the Newcastle football team. Can I remember who I was with? No. Can I remember where I was? No. Am I convinced it's a real memory? Not any more.

Answers:
Yes, completely, within the past year or two I had had memories of a dream that I had about taking a train up through Vermont to around Burlington. For a while I thought it was a dream until one day we were up in Burlington visiting family and my sister said to me "remember the time you took the train up here and we picked you up at that station?" It was the most surreal feeling, because I had completely thought it was a dream and then realized that it had been real although I couldn't remember much about it. Interesting how that can happen, isn't it?
get back on your meds,silly:)
Yeah, that's happened to me. Only something from years ago though where I can't remember if it really happened or whether I dreamt it. Was just that I was following my mum around the house and talking to her and then she wasn't there anymore and was in another room. Sounds really bizarre I know - but I swear it happened!
I remember having some really pretty summer dresses that I had kept in the back of my closet until the weather warmed up. The warm weather came and I looked for the dresses They weren't there. I searched all over and the dresses weren't there. Either I had dreamed that I had the dresses or I accidentally threw them out. this was more than 10 years ago and I still have not figured it out..
Yes all the time. The best ones are when i go to sleep stressing about something that i need to do, dream i have done it, then DON'T do what needs done coz i have already done it - in my dream!!
You are not alone. Often I have memories but when I think about them I'm not sure if they really are memories or if I have dreamt them.
I do my best to keep a hold on reality now. Because I spent time in my youth looking for a sporting goods shop that only existed in my dreams. It was a mix of imagery in an area of the city I live in.
Took me years to figure it out.

My problem now is knowing I'm dreaming but being unable to wake up. It was so hard once, I thought I had died.
Yep, in fact there is one memory from my early childhood that to this day I am not sure if it was a dream or if it really happened. There is a movie with Robin Williams and Jim Caviezel in it that sort of touches on that subject, but I can't remember the name of it.Maybe I just dreamed it.
since me, myself and I have many conversation, yes. It happens a lot
I remember having a dream during which I recalled a situation which happened in another dream. How odd is that?
Well this is sometimes also known as a sense of "Deja vous" - it can leave you ever so slightly confused. It is as if the past, present and future mingle together at that particular point in your life. You know you have done it previously but no one else seems to realise this. At times it happens so often that you start questioning your own sanity - been there but did not get the T-shirt :-) Tell you what will happen - you will walk into a pub one of these days to support your team - as you are about to sit down - you will know exactly what is going to happen in the next minute (s) - eery
