Right before I fall asleep, I'll remember some random details of a dream I had when I was 5-10 years old. It changes each night, but never is a newer dream.

Does that happen to anyone else?

I’ve had a couple of dreams that were impossibly longer than the time I was asleep.

Once I lived months a single night. Woke up disoriented and took a long time looking around confused before I remembered who I was.

The other dream was at least many weeks, and in real time it was only three minutes! It was a sort of detective/bounty hunter thing with me chasing a guy. It ended with a sci fi battle in a first that was utterly terrifying, and I woke up in a cold sweat. Literally three minutes since I’d last looked at my phone. Body drenched in sweat that was actually cold, my heart pounding. The dream had been so real.

Both of those dreams ended with me dying.
