Dreams are funny, in that sometimes they seem to come out of nowhere. We dream about strange things that we haven't thought about in a very long time. Are they things that are deep within our subconscious? Or just a combination of lots of neurons firing in our brain that create a combination that might be strange, or that might be strangely familiar, both of which are just a coincidence? Opinions vary on how dreams work, but whatever the case, I always find them fascinating.
On a personal note, whenever I dream about my ex, it leaves me with strange mixed feelings all day long that I'm not sure how to process. I can try to cast it aside like it's just neurons firing in a strange way in my brain at night, but the memory of it is still unnerving. Get out of my brain, ex.

I'm with you. Certain dreams, especially about boys, leaving me feeling "off" all day. The worst dreams, for me, are the ones where I feel so intensely happy or in love, and then I wake up and realize they aren't real.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. In the dream I was so happy, but circumstances were so different than they are in reality. So I'm left with--is it wrong to enjoy that happy feeling if it wasn't real?
DeleteNothing wrong with enjoying the feeling from dreams! As long as you can separate dreams from reality (as tempting as it is to live in dream-land).
DeleteIn my dream last night, all I remember is being hugged tight by a guy who made me feel safe, and it felt so good. Now to find it in reality!
