Longest its taken to realise a dream/nightmare was not real

I almost never realize I’m in a dream when I’m in one.

Huh. For me, the worst ones are the dreams where everything is fine, and then I wake up and have to deal with reality that isn’t. It can take a few minutes to accept that.

A day. Just posted this dream in another thread, oddly enough. It involved dreaming we were out of mustard and the next day really thinking we WERE out of mustard.
