I'm sure lots of people have experienced this, dreams which felt so real that they toy with your emotions in real life. EG, a bad dream of a lost loved one, or something. Anyone care to share?
yeap, those happen all the time but unfortunately jesus won't let me share my intimate dreams with strangers on the internet.
i've had feelings of love and being loved in dreams (yes i've also had them in real life). also gratifications of discovery and successess in creating and exploring, finding/making shelter, all those sorts of things. oh there have been twinges of fear and moments of revulsion too. far less common, thankfully. i wouldn't saying playing with my emotions though. if anything far less of that and of anxiety then ever in waking life. =^^= .../\...
I think it's pretty normal. Sometimes I think it's a way of expressing things we would not express in waking life. Or maybe don't know how? If you are speaking of a dream of a lost loved one perhaps it's just part of what you are doing to heal? W
This happens all the time to me. Mainly it's dreams of love that do this for me, and they're amazing. I wish I could lucidly control every aspect.
