[seeker1950]

I had this vivid dream of being in love. I am so devoid of such feelings and the dream was so real. The alarm woke me up mid-dream. I had a huge sick headache. I decided to call in sick. Went back to sleep, and, yes, I finished the dream, which ended by being betrayed. Not surprising that the dream would end this way (true to my experiences), but I stayed in bed till noon, sleeping intermittently, completing the dream. I have not felt well all day, and stayed in my night clothes till 3 in the afternoon. I feel guilty for missing work.

I hope you got over the guilt. There was no reason for but there it is anyway
I'm sorry the dream didn't turn out well but I envy you the ability to resume dreams. I enjoy all my dreams, good or bad. They are so much more interesting than my life,
As for this dream mirroring your life... I'm sorry. It may mean something but to paraphrase Freud, I think that usually a dream is just a dream.
Wishing you better dreams Patty
