Might not make you guys feel any better, but I've read stories of people who will dream entire lives. Like they'll go to sleep as a 15 year old, and dream about waking up and living the rest of their life. Then when they die (whether it be hit by a car at 25 or on their deathbed at 85) they wake up, just like they were the night they went to sleep when they were 15.
The general theory is that when you have a dream like that, you don't actually dream the whole deal, rather the minute your dream starts, you are already 65 in the dream, and your subconscious creates memories of your past, to simulate the real deal. And from the people who posted their experiences, it really felt quite real, and usually suffer from some extreme mental illness for awhile.
Sweet dreams.
