This has happened to me probably 5 times in the last month, and it bums me out every time. I just woke up from a 4 hour nap drenched in sweat and disappointed when I realized the cute assertive tall girl with green hair that I met at an Underoath concert wasn’t real. Felt like a spark that I haven’t experienced in real life in almost 10 years. :deeper-sadness:

      I’m not sure if it’s good or bad that I’ve been having these dreams so frequently. It feels good experiencing affection when I can’t in real life atm, but also the sadness that always come sucks, lol.

      And hey you’re here! Glad to see you, comrade.

        Yeah, your subconscious is like, "Dude! You're lonely! Get out there and meet some people." And of course, it's the time of plague so that's not easy/safe to do right now. I do see something kind of beautiful in it though, as an affirmation of humanity and our common need for love and affection.
