Weird or Stupid?

I locked the door, I'm pretty sure I locked it.
But in the early morning it stood ajar.

Memory lane - I came, I smiled, I grasped the handle
and drew it shut and..turned the key...SURE I SHUT IT!

"Well..may be I never shut it at all."

The phone rang, I got up the bed
and groped around in the dark.

'Hello" - no one answered. I staggered to bed
and dropped to sleep.

In the morning, I checked the indicator - no number
there.

Memory lane - I was sleepy, it rang once, twice...
My eyes opened. I saw a chair.The chair was here...So?
"Oh...may be I had been dreaming. It's ok."

I handed my purchases at the counter.
The salesgirl smiled at me, she was waiting for
me to pay. My purse, where was my purse?

He said 'basket', just as I saw it in the empty basket.
I tended a large note to the salesgirl and
turned to say 'thanks' to him.
But there was no one.

Memory lane - I'm sure a man said 'Basket", the voice was
assertive and mature..

"Never mind...may be it was the salesgirl's voice!"

I clang standing in the bus, I gazed
tiredly out at the bus stop..many people were there.

The bus heavily drew forward, more people had come in.
I saw a glimpse of Dad standing down the road.
"Dad?" I gasped. Everyone looked at me suspiciously.

"Hey stop!". I pushed my way out.
People were muttering. I was running back the road.

No one - certainly not Dad.
A car stopped screeching. My neighbour dropped me home.

Dad was watching TV.
"Where were you?" He looked at me perplexed.
"Watching a movie since an hour!"

Memory lane - I saw dad standing there drawing away
slowly as the bus moved.

"Its all right,.. may be I'm very tired!!!"

This is an interesting read to say the least. That sense of confusion has me curious. From one "reality" to another. What exactly is going on here? I want to know more.
