A recent greentext post about an imaginary wife made me think of this.
Have you ever had a dream, where you fell in love with a dream character?
I’ve had at least a couple over the years that I can vaguely remember. The dreams were so vivid, and the feeling of love for this imaginary person was so strong, that I woke up feeling rather heartbroken and a sense of longing.
Anyone else?

For a while I had a girlfriend in my dreams, same person every dream, we just did normal things, it was weird as hell, i think she left me tho, haven’t dreamt about her in years.
Dream ghosted.
Bruh
I had a dream that I was driving a horse cart down a dusty gravel road, and riding next to me was the greatest love I’d ever felt - she was a rotund Native American woman.
Was it Jana Schmieding? Because honestly, same.
I had to look her up; she’s very similar looking, but the girl in my dream was a little smaller in all proportions, and didn’t look so happy.
How do you have the name of a “rotund Native American woman” just hot in the holster?
She’s funny, and was in Reservation Dogs.
No. But lots of dreams about sucking fat dicks.
So… close enough?

Yea, why?
Yep. 😉

Because from a young age women are encouraged to be prim, proper, and demure.
And if a woman expresses herself sexually and then gets sexually assaulted, it’s always assumed she was asking for it.

A real man’s man.
Absolutely. Has been a hot minute though. In my late teens and early twenties I regularly woke up depressed AF knowing that what I just felt was all just a dream.
Haven’t had this in the last two decades or so, but you never fully forget the feeling of helplessness as you realize that “bliss” actually exists, but it’s perpetually out of your reach.
It really does drive in the reality that love is a fleeting chemical response, eh?
“Falling in love” and “love” are quite different from each other.
That said, yeah, the feeling can be quite fleeting. Being a chemical response doesn’t make it less intense or even less meaningful, though. Sadly? Fortunately? 🤷♂️
Yeah, oddly enough, that Rick & Morty ep hit home. Of all the things, that one hooked me. 🤷🏽♂️
I’ve never watched that show, could you please elaborate or give me the episode number so I can look up the synopsis?
Sorry, the one that play a video game that’s an entire life of some other random schmuck. I’m not sure if the episode number or season, but there was another where they revisited the idea, IIRC.
“Roy”?
That’s the arcade one. The other one is probably season 4, episode 8, “The Vat of Acid Episode”. Morty gets a real-life saving device that allows him to go back to any previous moment in time where he has defined a save. He then falls in love with a girl and lives a long time happily with her, and forgets about the saving device. Eventually, he accidentally goes back to the save point he had made and realized he has lost the relationship with the girl and is again a complete stranger to her. That one hits hard.

You guys have all the fun! Most dreams I remember seem to be about fire or spiders
Many times. It has been a fairly common theme. My dreams that I remember tend to be extreme emotional dreams. Either nightmares that I commonly had as a kid. Falling in love which was especially common as a teenager. And yeah, the extreme heartbreak is real. Music, which is connected closely to emotions for me and often manifests as beautiful symphonies that I wish I could immediately write down because damn I could probably make money off that s***. Flying or being under water and not drowning and the weight being lifted and the emotion of freedom tied to those. Etc.
First time I ever asked out a girl was after I had a dream like this about her
No.
This question is confusing for me and may illustrate brain wiring differences. Whenever I wake up abruptly enough to remember a dream, it’s always a lot closer to AI generated videos than a coherent story like youse are reporting. One difference is that my dreams usually retain coherence for a few ticks/actions in a scene, vs. the average AI video that is constantly mutating.
I have strong ADHD and short term memory issues so that’s probably why.
Yes, those dreams hurt reality so badly. The sense of loss when you wake is pretty aggressive if you already lack a good connection with someone.
Had a dream like that years ago, I still remember it quite well
I had an entire LIFETIME in ONE night. Dream was super realistic, but it was all anime waifus. From earliest childhood memory till old age and that final darkness basically that last moment woke me up with a start. I never imagined that an entire lifetime in one night dream.
I don’t think I ever had such an experience ever again. It was just one time. Never to happen again so far.
What if this lifetime is also a dream.
Like inception.
Dreams are weird man. Just choose to be calm and carry on. Dont do the inception stuff :-D
Yes. In a dream, I fell in love with someone I know in real life now. It was psychologically disruptive. In the dream, we’d loved each other for thousands of years. The emotions did not end upon waking and persist to today to some extent.
Not fell in love per se but I had a dream I was getting married and it was clear my partner and I were really in love. There was a sense of happiness I felt that made the dream feel so real. Was sad when I woke up.
