I was recently diagnosed epileptic and I'm starting to experience this phenomenon where I'm unable to tell the difference between dreams and reality.

I'm not even supposed to be driving yet, but I was under the impression that I had been for a while (in my dreams) only to find out my odometer hadn't changed when I tried to drive IRL. Really jarring.

You should probably stay out of the driver's seat.

Geez, how do you manage that? When I disassociate hard I get heavy anxiety about not being able to differentiate dreams and reality and it feels like i'm gonna lose my sense of self. I can't imagine it being common occurrence.
