/dr/ - Dreams

Sometimes i get dreams like these. The last one I had was maybe over 6 months ago or so. They aren't common for me though.

The last one actually made me tear up a bit because of how close to it was to being a long lost childhood friend. We talked about our childhoods and the things we saw then. Shows, books, schools… Apart from a few differences, it's like she had an almost identical experience compared to mine.

I remember going our separate ways before the dream ended because I had to go to class in my dream, but I forgot to ask her info. As I turned around, she left, and the dream stopped. It was difficult to digest even for a dream. For now I kind of hope finding someone like her.

I've had one of these this year. It was completely dark and surreal at the same time. Imagine finding someone in your life or even those long-lost friendships you had that could've worked out. Sometimes it makes me sick thinking about it. I do miss some of the people I walked out on in my life. Maybe things would've turned out differently if I had done something else. But all in all, I can't escape from my reality. I know what left.

I'm literally the same. Every month or two I have a dream where there's this enigmatic girl, everytime it's a different person, but they're all enigmatic, and i'm never communicating directly with them. Usually, I'm not even *in* the dream, strictly speaking. But the dreams affect me so much that I feel like shit the moment I wake up, and spend the rest of the month under its influence, so to speak, every night praying that I might see the same dream again or one that is similar….

Not even depressed or anything, but dreams feel way more real to my actual life…..

Pure, unconditional love does not and cannot exist in the physical world. Humans are incapable of expressing it. That we are able to know it in any way, even if only in dreams, is a blessing from the divine that none of us deserve. It does hurts terribly to be apart from it, but I try to be thankful that it's only a temporary separation. Even when I'm stuck deep in the mire of physical reality and can't feel anything but decay, it's still there, and when I'm done with this place I will rejoin it.

I'll be right there with you friend. I can't wait to feel that unconditional, shining love that awaits us all after our vessels are abandoned.

This very much was my experience between the ages of… Probably 15-23. I can remember sitting there in bed most nights, quietly praying/wishing/focusing to experience one of those surreal encounters with that idealized, beautiful person I've never, but feel so familiar in the dream.

I noticed these dreams were most prevalent when I was most fearful of being hurt by others.

I re-read through all of His Dark Materials because of this post. Thanks for inspiring me anon.

Sometimes I’ll wake up and realize I’ve dreamt about reconciling with my ex. Not getting back together, but just talking without mental barriers between us like we once could. It gives me a moment of peace before I let her memory fade back into my mind again.
I hope we all can find some approximation of shining romantic love in this life. If that cannot be the case, I will look forward to meeting you all as brothers in the eternal love beyond our universe. Be well my friends

I've had a dream in the spring of 2016. In the dream, I just woke up from a good night's rest. The sunlight poured through the window and bathed the entire room in a brilliant warm gold. It felt so real. I could feel the warm sunshine on my skin. The room was bare. I shared a barebones single bed (all white sheets, simple bedframe) with this man. He wore a plain white shirt. The messy sheets were pulled over his waist and he looked up at me, sleep still in his eyes but the bliss shined through. He had the biggest warmest smile on his face with big brown eyes - all squinty and crinkly with genuine love and happiness - and messy brown hair. It shone like copper in the sunlight. In that moment, I felt so loved, accepted, cherished, wanted. I was so completely at ease. I woke up to someone who loves me and smiles instantly at the sight of me. It was a feeling I never felt before, but this year it has returned again ever since I met someone who gives me those fuzzy feelings.
It's strange, but the man in that 2016 dream is the person I'm dating now. Should I tell him about this dream or will it scare him off? He believes in spiritual things like soulmates and psychic powers - maybe he'll believe in psychic dreams? Not a schizo btw

It's been 16 years since I had quite the experience in my dreams. Longing to find her in this realm of reality. There was a point in time where I had thought I had met her but clearly I was wrong entirely in thinking so. I await to see her once more even if just in my dreams.
