Learn English – Another way to say “fulfill your dream”

Pull your finger out means to stop prevaricating and start to act.

or a similar phrase with a slightly different meaning which could apply is:

Pull your socks up which means to make an effort to improve your performance/behaviour.

The dreams could be wishful thinking, unconsciously you may be seeking to live a different life, to be someone else.

It could also be a signal that you are living a period of great stress, the dreams do not mean you physically abandoned your body and entered into somebody else's.

But depending on your personal beliefs there are a couple of expressions that interpret this type out-of-body experience (OBE)

channeling
The other incarnation of non-physical mediumship is a form of channeling in which the channeler goes into a trance, or "leaves their body", allowing a spiritual entity to borrow their body, who then talks through them. When in a trance the medium appears to come under the control of the spirit of a departed soul, sometimes entering into a cataleptic state, although modern channelers may not. Some channelers open the eyes when channeling, and remain able to walk and behave normally.
