Why did this happen to me (dream)?

Question

I dreamt that I got up, got ready for work, (took a shower put on my makeup, ate breakfast) and I even was looking at the clock and realized I was on time. I suddenly WOKE UP and realized I slept in and that I was dreaming the entire time. It seemed VERY VERY real and this has happened to me in the past.

Why?

Answer 1

Your mind works on routine.  Your brain expected you to be getting up and going through your normal morning routine so it replayed it out even though you weren't awake.

I've done that several times myself especially when I was younger and had a very set morning routine.

Answer 2

It might be something that is bothering you maybe something that you think is going to happen in the future that you don't want to happen and that disturbs you a lot

Maybe you were dreaming about what you did the past days. So it seemed real but maybe thats because you already did it one day when you were getting ready for work.
