Crushed by your own dreams

[Bertylicious]

It's a common dream, mate. I used to have them frequently between the ages of 16 and 24. They go away after a while.

It's probably just hormones or something messing with you.

I had a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed : ?We hold these truths to be self-evident : that all men are created equal.?
I had a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.
I had a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I had a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I had a dream today!
I had a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I had a dream today, that one day...
I had a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain and the crooked places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. »

Considering most of my dreams are rather interesting I usually have a sense of regret or loss upon waking up but beyond that I generally accept that the dream is gone and get on with my day without being too affected by them. If I find one particularly interesting I take a record of it though. As for actually conversing with people in my dreams, the last meaningful conversation I can remember was a brief with one Death so generally no pleasant chats in my dreams.

a feeling of happiness, the strength of which i've never experienced, only to come crashing back to my bleak, unsatisfying reality, and just like that i've gone from my absolute best to feeling lower than i ever have.

I'd like to welcome you to my world. Or I dunno, there may be others here, I don't care. Don't worry, once you get to have these dreams a lot, you'll get desensitized to reality. That place sucks anyway.

I'm not completely joking, either. I like sleeping for the peace it brings me. Unless I'm dreaming of something stressful or just plain strange. Like that time I went to visit my ex job to find that my boss was a head that rolled on the floor and he started shouting at me for being crap while I worked there. That I even costed him money and he was going to sue me. yeah, not a pleasant feeling. But hey, on the other hand, the morning felt a little better.

My dreams tend to be much more interesting than reality, so in that sense of reminding me, yes they crush me. I watched Inception again recently and found the part where people prefer to dream than live in reality quite interesting. :/

I had a lucid dream once. For a few minutes I felt like a god, changing the landscapes and such.
Then I woke up :L

I had one of those as well. It was awesome for... a duration. I don't know how long I was aware of my dreaming and capable of altering the universe till I woke up, but I did create and do some pretty cool stuff. Then it was over and I was stuck in the universe which answers to its own laws, not mine.

I never really had another one which had that effect on me. I had some in reverse: where the dream was terrible, and very realistic. I often had to check to see if it hadn't actually happened.

Yup so far two of my dreams I have experience were "pure hayyiness" (yes both were me with a girl". I do find it sad when I look up the psychological view of said happy dream, it means the happy dream is created to compensate when we are feeling depress. I guess that only happen twise so I not exactly depress all the time!

I have experience other strong emotions which is sadness as one of my dreams I was crying my eyes out when my brother had died only to find myself waking up and still feeling the crying emotion. It so annoying that I know my brother is alive and well so why am I still crying?

My dreams taunt me with semi-realistic possibilities that would make me much happier, but would require a significant change that I have no control over for them to occur.

 

[BrotherSurplice]

I have really, really wierd dreams, so I generally don't feel too bad about waking from them. However, in many of my dreams I'm some sort of adventurer or soldier or something (for e.g. in a dream I had recently I dreamed that I was Commander Shepard, and in another recent one I was a survivor of the Siege of Cawnpore), so I do have some mornings where I feel kind of depressed.

I once had this dream as a teen that I was in this abandoned house in this huge open field (think of the house in Courage the Cowardly Dog). Well, I enter the house and time just felt like it stopped. I explore the house for a bit, with warm yet cold light coming in through the windows, reflecting off every dust particle in the air.

As I finish exploring the bottom floor I head up the stairs and all of the sudden I get a feeling like something is chasing me. My adrenaline rushes and I run as fast as I can. The hallways keep turning, left, right, left and then right again, until I come to a dead end and look above me to see the entrance to the attic. I thought it was the perfect place to run for some reason.. well anyways, once in the attic I find some old furniture and throw it towards the entrance in an attempt to block the way of whatever it was that was chasing me.

Once I felt that it was secured, I noticed the only piece of furniture that wasn't a part of my barricade was a mirror. It was one of those tall, oval mirrors. I approached it slowly, feeling that it was a bad idea. Slowly I inch my way in front of the mirror, expecting something bad to happen. It took forever but I can finally see my entire body. And as I stare in to it I feel my persuer once again, as if he's right behind me but I see nothing. As I strain my eyes to find him, I feel a hand grab my shoulder and I swing around in an attempt to punch whatever it was.

As I punched I woke up to my fist flying through the air and just missing my mothers face by a few inches. I panicked and was so out of it and didn't understand at all. My mother calms me down and apparently was just waking me up to get ready for school.



tl;dr: I was being chased by a vampire and when I tried to punch it I woke up and was trying to punch my mother.

Probably the weirdest, most real dream i've ever had.

I had a dream about the girl I love. In it it was early morning, the sunlight streaming through the gaps in the blinds. We were lying together in bed, arms around each other and it was beautiful. Her hair messy, her warm cheek pressed gently against my chest...

Then I woke up and remembered she's broken up with me the week before.

 

[Sexy Devil]

I've had one of those before, OP. Of course, on the rare occasion I dream they're usually pretty messed up (the "I die" level of messed up) so when I woke up I was just happy it wasn't one of those.

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

Dreams, no.

My imagination and day dreaming, yes. It's so depressing I'll never have a date with the person I day dream about due to them not being real and all. Also, I'll never save the world from a eternal evil that threatens the very nature of existance, then I have a selfless heroic sacrifice to stop it ahhhhhh......... One can dream, right?

Dreams have a tendency to do that to you, taking things around you and messing is all about in your head. Most of mine have a combination of work and whatever games and books I'm enjoying.
I found I had most dreams about my boyfriend and family, when I was totally homesick and a few countries away from them.

I started lucid dreaming in a nightmare. And it's crushed me because I doubt I'll ever be able to do that in a dream full of horny lesbians.

I've had "other lives" all my life- basically where I imagine the life of my alter-ego pretty much all the time alongside my real life (sometimes subconsciously). There are various settings, but the one that's been with me pretty much as long as I can remember is the one in Middle Earth.

I've had dreams where it's really felt like I was there and I was this "other me." Waking up was horrible. I also get moments like this from time to time in real life, where I basically have to go and have a little cry because I'll never live in a fantasy world or be a hero. There, I admitted it.

I'm not actually all that crazy Though I have had depression for a number of years, it's pretty much under control by this point. I just have a really overactive imagination and was exposed to too much awesome fiction at a young age.
