What happens if my day dreaming is reality for me?? I can't distinguish between the 2?  What will help me?

i'm not sure if i understand your question.  but if i'm correct you are thinking about something that is happening so much and so "hard" that you think that it really happens.  you might want to try keeping a journal.  whenever you have day dreams, write it down.  whatever you wrote down should be the non realistic part of your life.  you never know, your journal might turn into a great novel.

You know when you are asleep and dreaming? You can do anything be anywhere or with anyone !? You can fly be on your own 1000 foot yacht, or have any woman (or man or whatever you like)...There are good dreams and terrifying dreams, nightmares where you fall off abridge or monsters are chasing you. Pretty much ANYTHING can happen in dreamland, right?\n\nWell LSD is a chemical that tricks the brain into thinking it is asleep and triggers the part of the brain that allows you to dream, but you are awake. This is a very very powerful and potentially dangerous situation. Imagine having the ability of to dream while you are walking around. You get hallucinations your brain plays tricks on you and you may have trouble distinguishing between reality. This is problematic when trying to accomplish such mundane tasks as crossing the street....\n\nTo answer the question, it may not have lasting effects but while you are under the influence the line between reality and not will be very fuzzy and perhaps invisible. This can get you hurt or allow you to have a terrible nightmare that you can't  awaken from since you ALREADY ARE AWAKE!\n\nThe other side of the coin is also true. You may have a beautiful experience. Most people can handle it, but then MAYBE NOT...................then don't look into the mirror.

"For better or worse, our future will be determined in large part by our dreams and by the struggle to make them real." (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi)\n\nThis has been my favorite quote for years. So when I saw your question I got very excited! \n\nI am a self professed "dreamer." Dreams seriously are what have driven me through life. When I discover something that I know will bring happiness to myself or those around me, I often consider that my dream: Something untouchable for the time being......but hopefully attainable as a goal down the road. It may be a struggle.....it may be a challenge....but I don't dismiss those hopes and dreams as merely a "fantasy." I find ways to achieve that goal and attain that dream. So what should we do? Definitely we should tell ourselves that our dreams can come true. Mentally if we accept that they are attainable then we can surely reach out and grab them. And that is my next suggestion......go for it. Do NOT let anything stop you. If its worthy of dreaming and hoping for.....it is worth pursuing. \n\nI wish you the best of luck in making all of your dreams come true. :)

Dreams are symbolic for phases or things you are going through in your life. It sounds like a stress dream to me. And also, that you might be intentionally sabotaging yourself. I am not quite sure why. Maybe you secretly are not happy with your job and want something different. Look over the details of this dream, and think in terms of your life. What are you afraid of? What are your goals? Are you afraid of being found out? \nYou will begin to understand your dream better by doing this. So good luck!

always happens to me but there is no clear cut policy on what dream is doing what, some are for counseling us and some are for detouring us from disaster, some are showing future but in  some odd way than reality, then some are just completely useless in the real world and some are completely reality based. good luck , please ask your higher self to give you answers after you wake up from these dreams. God bless

Yes, sometimes we all need to day dream to get away from real life problems but, when the day dreaming takes over our real life that's not so good.I mean when we just want to dream and not actually try to do those dreams and just think without action.Like if have a dream of going into the field of Forensic science but,i just dream of it without action of me going back to school that can be a big downer to my mental health.Should of,would of instand of doing it.

I believe most dreams are out-of-body experience to the future or to the past.  I also believe that this dream is a message to you.  Although, you may not understand it consciously, your sub-conscious has surely taken the message.  Your sub-conscious will lead you to the right way.  Only then will you understand the true meaning of the dream.  It looks like a forthcoming serious problem with papers and documents to me.  However, you will rise from the difficulty.

One of the things I do is dream interpretation. And a rule of thumb in so far as dreams go and are they significant is ... IF you have the same dream over and over, or IF you have it only once but it has a real impact on you, like you can't get it out of your head, in these two cases the dream has significance. Other wise its just being overly tired prior to sleeping, the subconscious at work for what ever reason, something you ate prior to bed time, etc. And a good book on dream interpretation, and by "good book" I don't mean one of those that gives you lottery numbers based on symbols lol, might help you better understand the significance of YOURS. Or you might talk with someone well versed in symbolism, like a good psychological counselor or psychic reader. Hope this helps. :-) ~ Peace & Blessings ~

Where would everyone be if we had nothing to hope for, nothing is unreachable, no daydream to big. It is only a daydream until it becomes a reality, it is up to you to change that, believe in yourself a little more and anything is possible.\nAs much as I like miss sherber I am going to disagree with her, there have been many things that I have daydreamed about, and then turned that dream into a reality, she is right sometimes it isn't as good as the daydream, and sometimes it is better. But you will never know until you do something about it.

Daydreams\n\nStudies show that we all have the tendency to daydream an average of 70-120 minutes a day. Day dreaming is classified as a level of consciousness between sleep and wakefulness. It occurs during our waking hours when we let our imagination carry us away. As our minds begin to wander and our level of awareness decreases, we lose ourselves in our imagined scenario and fantasy.   Click here for a more in depth look at daydreams. \n\nLucid Dreams\n\nLucid dreams occurs when you realize you are dreaming. "Wait a second. This is only a dream!" Most dreamers wake themselves up once they realize that they are only dreaming. Other dreamers have cultivated the skill to remain in the lucid state of dreaming. They become an active participant in their own dreams, making decisions in their dreams and influencing the dream's outcome without awakening.   \n\nNightmares\n\nA nightmare is a disturbing dream that causes the dreamer to wake up feeling anxious and frightened. Nightmares may be a response to real life trauma and situations. These type of nightmares fall under a special category called Post-traumatic Stress Nightmare (PSN). Nightmares may also occur because we have ignored or refused to accept a particular life situation. Research shows that most people who have regular nightmares have had a family history of psychiatric problems, bad drug experiences, people who have contemplated suicide, and/or rocky relationships. Nightmares are an indication of a fear that needs to be acknowledged and confronted. It is a way for our subconscious to make up take notice. "Pay attention!" \n\nRecurring Dreams\n\nRecurring dreams repeat themselves with little variation in story or theme.  These dreams may be positive, but most often they are nightmarish in content.  Dreams may recur because a conflict depicted in the dream remains unresolved or  ignored. Once you have found a resolution to the problem, your recurring dreams will cease.   \n\nHealing Dreams\n\nHealing dreams serve as messages for the dreamer in regards to their health. Many dream experts believe that dreams can help us avoid potential health problems and help us to heal when we are ill.  Our bodies are able to communicate to us through our dreams to "tell" us that something is not quite right with our bodies even before any physical symptoms show up. Dreams of this nature may be telling the dreamer that he/she needs to go to the dentist or doctor.\n\nProphetic Dreams\n\nProphetic dreams, also referred to as precognitive or pyschic dreams, are dreams that seemingly foretell the future.  One rational theory to explain this phenomenon is that our dreaming mind is able to piece together bits of information and observation that we normally overlook or that we do not seriously consider. In other words, our unconscious mind knows what is coming before we consciously piece together the same information.\n\nSignal Dreams\n\nSignal dreams help you how to solve problems or make decisions in your waking life.\n\nEpic Dreams\n\nEpic dreams (or Great dreams) are so huge, so compelling, and so vivid that you cannot ignore them. The details of such dreams remain with you for years, as if your dreamt it last night. These dreams possess much beauty and contain many archetypal symbology.  When you wake up from such a dream, you feel that you have discovered something profound or amazing about yourself or about the world. It feels like a life-changing experience

Conscious and Lucid dreaming are one in the same. This is where you come to the realization that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. When this happens you have the capacity to the mold the dream the way you would like it to go. \n\nThis actually happens quite often to me.\n\nThe best tip I have to having these types of dreams is to ask yourself several times a day if you are dreaming. By making it a habit to check if you are dreaming when you are not you will also make it a habit to check if you are dreaming when you actually are.\n\nHope this helps.

Damn, wake myself up.\nGuess it all depends on whether you know it's a dream or not.

Dreams have all kinds of meanings to them.\n\nThere are several Yahoo groups about dreams you could join.\n\nInterpreting them can be difficult.  I've seen several dream interpretation books but the meanings of the symbols vary greatly. It's all very subjective.\n\nIf you have the kind that are coming true then you certainly have a gift.  Research it some and you will gain great knowledge from them!

Define existence!\n\nThe people in your dreams exist in so far as they exist within your dream.\n\nDo you know that you exist; are you the product of someone else's dream?\n\nWhat is existence; what is reality?\n\nIs this your dream or mine?

A lucid dream is one where the dreamer is aware that he/she is dreaming. An advanced lucid dreamer has the ability to direct and control the outcome of the dream. For instance, one I realize that I'm in a dream, I will myself to do things like fly, walk through walls etc.\n\nA premonition dream would be one where the dreamer has dreamt of something that will take place sometime in the future

I've had quite a few dreams in which I was aware that I was dreaming. In the past what I've done is to suggest to myself before I went to sleep that I would be aware that I was dreaming while it happened. I did this nightly and after a while it began to work! Another technique I've used is to ask myself at various times during the day, "Am I dreaming? How do I know?" and consider how my experience was different from a dream. I found that I would begin to ask myself this during dreams.
