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:
Yeah pretty much. In my dreams I can climb, walk, run and swim completely unassisted and freely. Can't do any of that in real life at the moment, and haven't been able to for years. Also have the attachment to people in my dreams happen, and it's sad wake up and realise everything that happened wasn't real. Doesn't help that most of my dreams are semi-lucid, so although I do not know that I am dreaming, I do have control of my actions in dreams. That's probably why I have sleep paralysis so often as well.
