Is it normal to think that life could be a dream?

Sometimes I feel that the life I live could be a dream. Instead of living the life I have for 18 years, I feel like I could wake up one day and maybe be a soldier in the American civil war or something on an entirely different planet. I have thought like this since I was very young. is it normal to thing that your life could be a dream?

  • See that sucks for people with horrible memory problems like me. half the time what i did the day before is a blur and noise. so for me thats not a reason to stop thinking im dreaming right now.

    Sort of normal, but not really that normal, because you can easily distunguish dreams from reality. Plus, you can't try and make yourself wake up all of a sudden when awake. Plus, it would have been an extremely long dream, too long to remember.

    • interesting reply. What always goes through my mind is that dreams are actually longer than they are, in our time. So really my 18 years of living could be 20 minutes "real time". So, say i woke up from my "life"(which could possibly be a dream) and im a completely different person, different time, different place, who just happened to dream of me, only it wasn't who I really was....maybe im just realllly tired...

    I agree with you. I have trouble telling if the world is real. What if nothing really excits. Or like you say, already in a dream.

    I was just thinking that!!! I always think that... Sometimes I get dizzy.. Everything gets lighter and blurry, then back to normal.... A few days ago, i got up to get some dinner, in the middle of walking I blacked out, feeling dizzy. Next thing I knew, my cousin, sister, aunt, and uncle were helpin me up...
