I’ve always experienced super vivid dreams, and it often takes me a while after waking up to understand they're not real. Occasionally, it's a disappointment, but most of the time, I just forget about it and move on. Now, in 6th grade, I had one really close friend who I never actually got into a fight with. One night, I had an incredibly vivid dream where my friend and I had a huge falling out over something I can't even remember now. Being excellent at holding grudges as an unforgiving child, I ignored my best friend for three weeks in anger, until she started crying in front of the teacher, who then asked what was happening. As I was telling the story, I realized the events were really weird and that it had all been a dream. I went silent, stared at my still-upset friend, and had no idea what to say because I had seriously messed up.
