Spending a large amount of time in alternate realities(chans, chatrooms, media, etc.), or in your head, means that contact time in the open world is quite small.
When I sleep, I keep the memories of the dreams I have, and I feel are they filling in the spot that reality should be doing. I remember them as something that happened in real life, and most of them do take place in my own life. When I am awake and see something that evokes a dream memory, I have to force myself to distinguish between dream memory and real memory. It gets blurry. I believe that I have done something already or I own something that in reality I don't, like those memories have been injected there. It's like I'm living a parallel life in the dream world, and in all honesty, it's frightening.
Is this a replacement by my own mind for missing stimuli?
Does this happen to anyone else?

How do you have trouble differentiating dream memory from irl memory? Dream memories are the most absurd and unrealistic things ever. You should probably spend more time outside and less time on line. If that doesn't help go see a doctor.

>>252I don't really keep these dream memories for a long time, only for the day. And once I make the distinction clear, they don't bother me again until the next dream. So it is not exactly something to be worried about.
The dream memories are so real, that it's not absurd to consider it reality. That's what's unsettling.
