re: Have you ever had a dream that felt SO real, you were convinced it happened

Yes, often but not as much as I used to. For awhile it was concerning me so I started looking into and found out they are called lucid dreams. I started documenting everything that happened in the dream as soon as I woke up. This seemed to increase the lucid dreaming. There was one dream in particular that made me say ok something is going on here and I need to write this stuff down. There was a guy I had never met and he was alone in an apt room. He was very very depressed and I tried to talk to him and help him. I was worried he was going to commit suicide. He told me his name and when I woke up, that was the first thing I wrote down. I started doing google searches because I was really worried about this person. I found an artist/photographer that lived in new york that matched his name. I must have composed 4 or 5 letters to him before finally realizing there was no way for me to do it without coming off as a crazy person. So I did nothing. It still bothers me.
