sometimes after I wake up, it takes a while for my brain to sort out dreams from pre-sleep memories. On a side note, this is part of why I usually wake up slowly and can react oddly for the first hour or so. For instance, I woke up from a nap almost 30 minutes ago, and just realized
that the lovely purple plush octopus toy was just a dream.

If it's a good-but-not major thing, I often accept it as a memory a little while into waking as well. If it's something really awful, or wonderful, I usually have a strong reaction upon waking up (oh good, that didn't happen / aww, that didn't happen...). The little things I sometimes bump into in my mind a while later, and realize they were part of a dream.

I don't recall any examples of the little things, but the big ones have involved being late for work/school, breaking things or otherwise screwing up in a big way, meeting someone really nifty... the late for work one came true earlier this year, when I woke up about 5 hours for work (not too hard when you aren't used to night shift yet).
