I had a dream recently, involving a female celebrity, that was extremely intense and emotional. I woke up feeling a stalker like attachment to her. I decided I was in love with her and even decided excitedly that I was going to find her and that she was going to fall madly in love with me (never mind that I have a family and that she also is married to a man, more than twice my age and has grown children). I believed that the dream I had was actually meant to occur. It still makes me quiver. I can't shake it either. I feel strongly that I am in love with her even though I know how irrational it is and that it is a lie. Is this part of my bipolar? I have done this sort of thing in the past, even to other female celebrities (dating back to childhood) but I'm not sure what it is. The emotional attachments were not preceded by dreams in the past but I have definitely had extremely intense dreams such as this one while manic. I always assumed this only occurred while manic but I'm not so sure. It seems, if I am manic, that I have either been cycling super quickly over the past couple of years (compared to the rare episodes I have had in the past), that I have never recovered from the major episode I had 2 1/2 years ago, or that my entire personality is majorly grandiose and a tad bit insane. Do people just do this sometimes and it is normal? Thoughts?
