2:44 AM Not A Dream

It was all a dream but it was real?  I just beat my alarm clock as I was getting ready for work and was just about to go outside when I saw it was not my time….literally.  How did I confuse 2:44 AM with my normal wake up time and get ready as such?  Where did the time actually go ….backwards? I decided it was time for a nap and put my clothes aside to prove this actually occurred. When I awoke the next day the prove was hanging in front of me time didn’t go backwards just my mind did.
