Possibly. I found the email that notified me of my promotion and it refers to my "heroic efforts" during the monster attack on the city, along with my more recent push to assist New Tokyo. The latter is true enough, I did put forward the disaster response proposal. But the former?
[ She helped take down a monster in the dreams, but she wasn't even the one who dealt the killing blow. She mostly evacuated civilians to safety or pulled them out of the rubble. ]
I met Ms Erso in the safehouse following her arrival, yes. She'd mentioned meeting you.
Charitable of them, if that's the case. I can't imagine my housing situation has changed any, considering all I've got to my name is a suitcase currently sitting in your former apartment.
[ Daisy knows Peggy's been living out of a motel since the murder fiasco went down. Better to be out of the safehouse than caught in the thick of its occupants' politics. But she'd given up the room when she left for New Tokyo (no point in paying for it while away, not with her salary at the time) and parked her meagre belongings at Casa SHIELD. ]
But you've got me curious now. [ So she's going to go look. And about 30 seconds later: ] Oh.
[ well, if peggy's curious, daisy is doubly so. the woman is almost never at a loss for words, so the one syllable drop at the end there is especially telling. ]
you got a promotion and the digs to go with it, didn't you?
[ She can't imagine what could have caused this. Her new promotion, yes, but why sort a new place for herself then leave for a week or two for a trip abroad? ]
The only thing that comes to mind is that I paid a quick visit to the motel I'd been staying at, but it wasn't what I remembered so I left. I barely set foot in the lobby.
[ She spoke to a landlord to cover up her intruding on what was an apartment building. When she returns to New Amsterdam, she'll realise her new place used to be a hotel and was converted for residential living. But right now, she doesn't have those details. ]
It has been exceedingly difficult to make any sense of it. Unsurprising, since that's the nature of dreams to begin with, but these were different — clearer and more realistic than anything I'd ever drummed up in my sleep. I've never experienced anything like it.
[ It feels like she lived half of another life there. Not a different one, but a new track with familiar faces, different scenarios in this world. It'll take a day to arrange the jumble. ]
the only time i've felt anything like it, i wasn't exactly dreaming. take your time. we can regroup in new tokyo after everything calms down, see if anybody has anything to add.
resident alternate universe expert says it's more patch-job than new life if there's been a shop job, we should be able to find the edges. we'll figure it out, peggy. we always do.

[ maybe peggy's more of a hero than she thinks she is. daisy certainly thinks she is, anyway. ]
maybe the monsters in the dream put in a good word for you.

maybe you'll remember more as we go. i'm still trying to remember all of mine. if you think of anything else, maybe it'll make more sense.
