Is it normal to not be able to tell dreams from reality?

Sometimes in my dreams, I'll just be walking down the street or something & I'll be like, "well, this sucks. It totally feels like I'm in a dream. Might as well just kill myself if life is gonna feel like this, I mean Jesus."

    Sounds like you're experiencing something called derealization. It's a state of mind without a cure, but getting over it is certainly possible. Reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derealization might help, and so might seeing a psychologist.
