I'm experiencing this now. I can't remember if some guy and a kid came to my front door and were trying to look in the windows or if it was a dream. I suspect the problem of not being able to remember if it was real is not being fully present in each moment throughout the day. I've been being pulled in all different directions at once at work and having to multitask like crazy. If it was real, I had a million other more important things going through my mind at the time and so I think I failed to commit to memory any other facts that would help me validate this as a legit memory such as "what day was this?", "what was I doing just before and after?" If it happened, I gave it a the minimal amount of thought required, and then continued whatever I was thinking about without ever fully breaking away from it in the first place...kind of how a dream works - you switch between unrelated scenes suddenly with no ties to what happened before or after.
Is it normal that I can't remember if something was real or a dream?
