But he wasn't chasing YOU....unless....are you a sheep?

I've heard OBOE before.

One thing that you would have a nearly impossible problem overcoming is the fact that memories are incredibly unreliable. Eye witnesses are the least reliable form of testimony in criminal cases simply because there are so many false memories. In fact, some studies have shown that there is a significantly large segment of the population that will form actual memories of fictious events. MRIs show that for these people, the same brain areas are activated for ficticious as for real memories, whereas for the rest of the population there is a distinct difference between real and imaginary memories.

So, if memory is so unreliable, the only way you can really be certain that you did see those things that exact way is if you had written down the description of the dream prior to getting into the exam. The written record is the only proof that the dream is as you remembered it. Of course, anybody who writes down all their dreams is going to be a bit strange, but without that, there is always a chance that the memory itself is faulty. I have some interesting memories associated with a couple accidents (one that I was in, one that I witnessed), which have left me with pretty much complete doubt as to the reliability of memory.

On the other hand, the only real miracle is if no coincidences ever occured. A very rare probability is still possible, and some times it will be hit. Having taken so many tests, it isn't unreasonable that you could dream of a hypothetical situation that turned out to match reality, especially when it is a situation that you had been in many times, with many variations, before.
