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?

    Yes, those dreams hurt reality so badly. The sense of loss when you wake is pretty aggressive if you already lack a good connection with someone.

    Had a dream like that years ago, I still remember it quite well

      For me it’s the opposite, it’s like my brain goes “Ah, yes, serotonin, I remember” and stretches the 3 atmos it produced out over the whole day.
