My dream lasted for years, I’ve waken up confused and disorientated from the real world!

Last night I had a dream that has left me confused, grieving and distant from real life.
Has anyone ever had a dream that’s lasted weeks, months or even a lifetime?
My dream left with some kind of apocalypse happening, I watched the world get turned upside down. A lot of people survived but the dynamics of any kind of social system had falleft lived life travelling with a group of people, trying to find left water and essentials. We tried to settle down and make home at some random empty houses but each time something endedleftaking us move.
In this dream I made friends, faced challenges with them, saw them die, I ran folefty own life but in the end lleft mine too.
It felt like I lived this life for months if not years. Too many details to explain on here but I can add if anyone’s interested. But in the end leftdream endleftth civilisation slowly getting back to a structured system. We wentlefta plane that we had founleftever once it was up in the air not long after some kind off technical issue made the plane startleftall. leftent qleftly I could only see from my perspective flashing in and out of consciousness until I suddenly saw the plane go dowleftfrom A Birdseye view. And then I was taken to A place that was nowhere.. nothing existed except a voice talking to me.
I then saw little clips of my friends I made in this life, From years after the plane crash when civilisation was comileftether. I saw a clip of my friend walkinlefta room in a house smiling. I saw a little girl pick up ring that had fallen frleft plane crash. I saw other friends living their life years later finally at peace. I remember I was crying and I was happy for them that they were okay and things had gotten better for them.

Then I woke up, I felt so confuse it had felt like I just lived a whole life in one night of sleeping. the real world doesn’t feel real anymore. I feel disorientated and not sure what this means.
I hope this goes away Ileftl completely disconnected to real life.

How the flying f*** can I dream of songs that have never existed?

I literally just woke up from a dream where I was listening to a DMX song and everything from the beat to the lyrics (it was his exact flow btw) were sick to the point where I searched it up on YouTube as soon as I got up…THE SONG DOESNT EXIST!! How????? I need someone to make sense of this for me please.

Also in the dream I searched it up on YouTube and all the vids were from 2011 when they used to put cinematic hip hop songs over fight montages.
