I’ve always had super vivid dreams and it takes me a while after waking up to realize that they’re not real. Sometimes, it’s a disappointment, but generally 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 a really vivid dream where my friend and I had this huge falling out over something that I can’t even remember now. I was really good at holding grudges because I was not a forgiving child, so for three weeks I completely ignored my best friend in anger to the point where she started crying in front of the teacher and he asked what was going on. While recounting the story, I suddenly realized the events were strange and that it was all just a dream. I fell silent, looked at my friend who was still extremely upset, and didn't know what to say because I had messed up so badly.
