Misconceptions you had as a child

[Jed37]

If you grab something in your dream and wake up, you'll hold it in your hands in reality. As soon as I tried to transfer money into reality, I got disappointed....

You know, that reminds me of a lucid dream I once had, where it just would NOT end. Couldn't wake up. Eventually I (in the dream) raised my hands up to pry my eyes open (not as gross as it sounds, just pusing he eyelids apart), and I immediately woke up with my hands in that same position.
