Anecdotal, but I once dreamed an entire Wednesday. Got up went to work, a few hours in realised it was Wednesday all over again.
I suspect that one's mind can differentiate a dream from reality because dreams are not a simulation, they are not internally consistent or even generally comprehensible, while reality is.
In the high stress times of college, on multiple occasions I dreamed my entire morning routine and walk to class, only to wake up and do it all again.
One time I dreamed the whole thing, "woke up" and did it again, but THAT one was also a dream, woke up for real and did it all again a 3rd time.
That must have felt like some kind of ground hog day situation
Had the same shit happen to me in college too. College is one hell of a time...
It was in the midst of my 4000 level classes, maybe 3 hours of sleep for several days in a row, not eating right, all that shit will ruin your mind
So many buses lost: I woke up and got in, only to realize that it was a dream 😂
I once was stuck in a loop... for an entire year. It felt like a year too and waking up was something that made me happy.
