A recent greentext post about an imaginary wife made me think of this.

Have you ever had a dream, where you fell in love with a dream character?

I’ve had at least a couple over the years that I can vaguely remember. The dreams were so vivid, and the feeling of love for this imaginary person was so strong, that I woke up feeling rather heartbroken and a sense of longing.

Anyone else?

    This question is confusing for me and may illustrate brain wiring differences. Whenever I wake up abruptly enough to remember a dream, it’s always a lot closer to AI generated videos than a coherent story like youse are reporting. One difference is that my dreams usually retain coherence for a few ticks/actions in a scene, vs. the average AI video that is constantly mutating.

    I have strong ADHD and short term memory issues so that’s probably why.
