Is it normal to have dreams that seem to purposely give me false memories?

I have dreams whose purpose soley is to be annoying, and in a very specific way. I have them approximately once a week, maybe more that I can't remember. The dreams are all similar and highly realistic in premise - I am doing something normal, usually at home talking with my family or close friends, and they take place the previous day or next day. I will ask someone to do me a favor, like take out the trash or drive me somewhere, and they will accept or decline. Or, I will be doing something like go pick up milk or do chores. Sometimes I can see these things happen, but other times its like someone planted the memory. Then when I wake up, I think that it actually happened, and end up not doing what I need to do because I thought I already did it, or asked someone to do something but never did. It is sometimes minor enough, but other times it can be frustrating and incredibly embarrassing. Do other people have dreams like this?

    If you know it's a dream as you mentioned, your question is bit confusing and irrelevant. You says it's fake memory but you are aware of it. So it's a choice. Not a problem of being a fake or real memory.
    When you have a dream with a higher envolment with once emotions, even after wakes up, sometimes those feelings drags thru the day. It's totally normal.
