I've had a few dreams where I woke up thinking something that had occured actually happened. I usually went along about half a day before realizing it was a dream... weird feeling.

I had this happen two nights ago actually. It was one of my most vivid dreams of all time, atleast in my mental history. I cannot even recall hardly anything about it nowand it's very frustrating considernig how detailed and realistic the dream seemed to me. I woke up and immediately started running around looking for a pen and paper to just write down all details and by the time I found what I needed, the memories had faded.
This actually brings me to another point. I had been talking about this dream last night with my brother, who said on Monday night-Tuesday morning he had the same type of event happen. This is very strange to me considering hardly ever do I have dreams that I remember at all, even more ones that are very detailed and seem to last for a very long time. But after talking with my brother we both said we had the same feelings in the dream (good, great feeling, everything was going right and something important was going on and we had both been allowed to be involved in it). I would bullshit more details but I don't want to create any fabrication for my own benefit.
Very weird, it was like we had the same dream. And not to try and point towards a cause, but it did happen to fall on the same night as the meteor shower (which I hadn't realized until today).
I'm just very confused at this point. Last night I kept a notebook ready with a pen on it ready to jot down all and everything that was surrounded in my dream, and of course, I do not recall any dream.
edit:
Okay after remembering parts of what happened that night. I had taken a Zyrtec on Sunday being that my sinuses were messing up and I thought I may had been getting sick or something so I decided to take early measure to prevent anything more. I also took one the following day. That night nothing happened. Monday morning I had taken another Zyrtec and had actually felt more sick-like throughout the day (doubt it has to do with anything) but upon falling asleep which was really early I went immediately into dream-world, or atleast it seems.
I do now recall waking up at exactly 5:50, like I was on a mission and plugged my phone it to make sure it was charged, and then fell back asleep. I believe this is where the lucid part of my dream came into play. Everything around me was what I wanted it to be, it seemed as if I had full control over what was going on. I remember 5 people being with me in the dream the entire time, I want to say it was some family members including my brother which I had mentioned, and my girlfriend. I keep remembering something about a briefcase and two guys in suits walking up to us and shaking my hand. The suits were grey and just looked business casual. I did not open the briefcase but during the dream I knew what was inside. The dream had many transitions of enviorments and I remember going back and forth through them without any hesistation or trouble. It was a very awakening experience for me.
The next day, I also felt more energized than I have in a very long time. It was like a switch had gone off in my head and I am now allowed to be happy and have no worries. It was as if something in my dream had made every anxiety I've ever had go away, it was euphoric. I woke up and immediately started explaining it to my girlfriend and then I started running around looking for something to jot it down. I guess this was the wrong method to go about it, but it was okay. I remember when I was waking up I really did not want to wake up, and that my dream world's reality was much greater than that of mine and I needed to know something more, but it was not accomplished being that I woke up and could not fall back asleep the second time. Very odd.
The only reason I even care about this, or even want to try and find signifigance is the fact that my brother had the same type of dream. I don't know why, I don't know how. We both explain it exactly the same feelings of it, the details are sketched for both of us because some reason we cannot remember it but we both stated we knew what was going on in our dreams, and that we were both fullaware of the dream. We both also agreed that our dreams seemed to take forever, it seemed the playing out of what was going seemed to be extremely long and for that, I am clueless.
