Weird that you should post about this, weird for me anyway , as last night's dream was so real for me, at the time. I never remember dreams as I may go to sleep with a thought or scenario that I'd love to happen, but never get the full panned out dream, with an ending or even anything other than the initial thought. Last night, I don't where it came from, but wow !
It was so real, so detailed and so reflected my feelings. I didn't go to sleep thinking about the people in the dream, at all. One person there, my Mum (r.i.p. Mum) passed away 12 years ago, I do occasionally see her in dreams briefly.
The dream included people I have lost touch with, and people I love.
Thing that struck me on waking, was how HAPPY I was. Real happiness, I felt it like it was real. I haven't felt happy, truly happy for years. I won't bore you with the whole story, but in my dream, I was going to get married to a man I love. A real person in my life now, not an imaginary prince. We told everyone there, people I've not seen in years. We were so happy, and it felt real, so real. I could feel the happiness as I woke up.
Oh too quickly that happiness faded away, as it was just a dream. I woke up feeling cheated that my happiness was not real. The feeling of being really happy was magical and new. I actually woke up happy, the dream was that real. It was wonderful, and so, so vivid and real.
Reality hit me, and took me down, I felt totally cheated and robbed as I realised it was all just my dream. For a good half hour after I woke, I couldn't understand how real it could feel, it had to be true. I just kept thinking wow ! How happy was I ? I was so, so happy.
