I have had the same types of dreams that involve romantic love that you have. They are so beautiful that they defy words. The emotions are so magnified, even if I am just holding hands with the person. And I also can relate completely to the pain of waking up and having to leave it behind.

I, too, have nightmares frequently, and have for many years. And when I get a rare, wonderful dream, it's like Heaven to me. I am getting more pleasant dreams as of late, and I think it's because I've been making efforts to face some of my worst fears. I'm an anxiety patient, and when I have nightmares I'm always the victim. For some reason, I never fight back. Do you have specific fears or phobias that you have not faced?

And romance is definitely NOT pathetic for a guy! It's what every girl wants! Most of us complain guys are not romantic enough. Anyway, just wanted you to know you aren't alone. Sometimes I even find myself hoping and praying I won't wake up because I don't want the dream to end. I'd gladly stay there forever!

My best dream would be with Davy Jones (yes, of the former Monkees). I dream of him often, as he was my very first crush at age eleven. It's a little too explicit to go into, but the love I felt was out of this world.

I have also dreamed of flying on a unicorn, and landing in warm water, and swimming with friendly dolphins all around me. This dream was every bit as vivid as my romantic dreams. And there are so many colors that I marvel over, but much of the time I am aware that my dream time is limited, and that's a huge bummer.
