From wiki
Brasil, also known as Hy-Brasil or several other variants,[1] is a phantom island which was said to lie in the Atlantic ocean west of Ireland. In Irish myths it was said to be cloaked in mist, except for one day each seven years, when it became visible but still could not be reached. It probably has similar roots to other mythical islands said to exist in the Atlantic, such as Atlantis, Saint Brendan's Island, and the Isle of Mam. The etymology of the names Brasil and Hy-Brasil are unknown, but in Irish tradition it is thought to come from the Irish Uí Breasail (meaning "descendants (i.e., clan) of Breasal"), one of the ancient clans of northeastern Ireland. cf. Old Irish: Í: island; bres: beauty, worth; great, mighty.[2]

I keep having a dream about a collection of islands in the middle of the Atlantic at about our latitude
so this gives me that slightly uncomfortable feeling when things are reminiscent of dreams you'd mostly forgotten.

Maybe you have low self-esteem and are subconciously trying to associate yourself with the myth of Atlantis,
in an attempt to make yourself believe you are special, despite being thoroughly unremarkable in reality.
tl;dr: "Don't be stupid."

What tosh
It's obvious from modern aerial mapping that there's no island there.
Probably just a giant turtle that's allowed a small forest to grow on it's back.
