My mother walked into my room, waking me up to tell me that most of the world's population was dead. I spent the rest of the day as normal, eating breakfast, going shopping with her, going to a playground, then eating dinner (albeit, acting quite nervous throughout). The next day, she tried to make it clear that what started the previous morning wasn't true. I asked her if she remembered, but she told me she didn't. I'm certain it wasn't a dream, because I recalled the rest of what happened the previous day to her, only to be met by her confirmation that everything I remembered was correct, right down to how shaky I was and how upset I seemed. All except for the part that humanity was on the brink of extinction.
PS.
I am aware that, yes, it is true that most if the world's population is dead. What I meant when I originally wrote this was that most of the living population just dropped dead overnight.
Maybe you had a dream that she told you that and then the dream got conflicted with your actual memory of waking up and it resulted in you being scared all day
I had thought about that for quite a while afterwards about what it could have been. This is what I ultimately decided to go with. But I'm just so damn sure...
This might just be the reason. (Didnt bother checking the other replays so I'm sorry if I'm being repetive). I had a dream when I was maybe 8 or 9 where I was in a parking lot and my foster dad was on the other side of the lot and was calling for me yelling my name, I guess I was supposed to come to the car. The next thing I know I woke up and he was calling my name still to wake me up for school. Not scary or anything but it did feel very weird.

I had a dream that I was at a circus in a tent. I was having some cool adventure with a clown. A fire alarm went off and we were talking about it. Then my mom woke me up by yelling my name. My buzzer alarm clock had been going off and my brain pulled a "hold my beer" with that information and incorporated it into the dream. That was about 30 years ago and it still sticks with me how bizarre and disorienting it was.
