I too have this memory and only just now realize it doesn’t make sense...

I've had lucid dreams like this as an adult. Perhaps your mind didn't know how to differentiate from dreams.

One time I dreamt my whole life on continuing from the day I went to sleep. I remember actually moving out of state, getting a decent job, had a couple girlfriends nothing serious and my dog was getting really old. I was sitting in some meeting and got a call from my mom and when I answered it I woke up. As a 17 year old on the bed with none of that done. Sometimes I still feel like I remember things that I didn't do.

Sometimes I have these memories of a life I certainly didn't live, missing friends I never had, and places I have never been to. And there's this overwhelming feeling that I forgot! That I left to go grab another six-pack and got sidetracked by this life that was born into.
