Had a similar dream like that. But in my dream I think I died?

So like your dream, mine was hyper vivid too.

Met a girl, we dated, we got married, even had a couple of kids. And then at some point we celebrated our wedding anniversary with a big party. Our kids and grand kids were there. It was an amazing feast. And we go to bed happy, I kiss her good night and tell her how lucky I am, and then I startled myself awake and I find myself alone in bed in my darkened house.

I figured that she must have gotten up earlier or something, so I go to the bathroom, but I don’t recognise my face in the mirror initially, looks too young and I start to panic. Rush to kitchen, shouting her name. But the kitchen is empty too, obviously. She was never real. I mourned that loss for a few days, it really messed me up for a while. Wanting to go back to the dream. But I never saw her again in my dreams.

Scumbag brain.

You can look into mirrors in your dreams?

Most likely they knew how they looked in the dream and went to the bathroom IRL and got startled because the "dream version" was different. With these dreams, it's like that episode in Rick and Morty about the "Roy" game - living a life in VR that you believe to be 100% real.

Edit: and it bleeds over to reality for like 10 - 15 minutes

Oh alright, I had missed that this was outside the dream.
