It’s so weird to wake up feeling heartbreak for someone created in a dream.
My brain sure did have fun flooding itself with oxytocin, vasopressin and dopamine last night. Fuck you brain.
My first crush was a girl from another country I met on a short exchange. Nothing happened but the feelings were mutual. It was easy to romanticize and make her into something she wasn’t. It took me years to get over the regret even after seeing the same scenario work out horribly for the other half of my exchange where he did the program for a year chasing after a girl to be dumped within a week of arriving. Eventually I turned regret into a lesson against inaction, but it took a long time before I finished mourning the imaginary path my life could have taken.
Yeah, and they can be really intense too. A couple times it took the form of somebody I know IRL. I wake up and it’s like damn, did I miss something? Other times it took the form of a stranger and it’s like my brain needed something to get me through the day so it flooded me with love and good feelings. The love aspect remains even if the dream wasn’t memorable. Every time I have a dream like that I like to think it means something somewhere in the universe loves me.

I love this thought, and am stealing it
Yes, but she really worked hard to make me think she did exist.
But it was all an act.
I’ve had that happen a few times, but I chalk it up to being intensely lonely and not feeling worthy of a relationship. I usually have terrible nightmares, but I think the dreams where I fall in love with someone are worse, because at least the nightmares are based on events I’ve lived through
No, but i never remember my dreams. That generally makes me sad but it may be a good thing after all.
I’ve never wanted to have children IRL, and so I don’t have any. But sometimes I dream about having a daughter, and it feels… right, for the lack of a better word. I wake up knowing it was a dream, but I still feel a bit of loss every time I wake up from that kind of dream. Similar to when I dream about someone I’ve lost.
Weird that I’ve also had the daughter dream. I really did love her, and she was about 3 in my dream.
My dreams been about me being killed, I never had suicidal thoughts.
Love dreams might be better for a change.Oh, yes. Quite a few times. I’ve forgotten the details, but not the feeling. Love, and the first kiss.
Oh yeah I remember all 3 occurences, that mostly happened around my 20s, i guess I was yearning
