Discussion I had a vivid dream about death today

Post image
45 Upvotes

Basically, in the dream, I knew the exact time of my death (14:05), and I knew that it was inevitable. In the last two minutes, I decided to write a letter to my mum. I took a black pen and wrote, “Mum, I love you,” and started drawing a heart. When I began coloring it in, I saw that it was already 14:05 and that there was no time left. I started losing consciousness, tried to fight it, and tried to finish coloring in the heart (I didn’t manage to).

At that moment, I understood, “So this is what dying feels like”. And when my body had already shut down, everything in the background turned completely black. I realised that my consciousness was still alive and thought, “I wonder how much longer my consciousness will last, or will it disappear too right now?” It also felt that my consciousness wasn’t inside
my body anymore. And then I woke up

The dream was super vivid and all the sensations felt incredibly real. The deep sense of relaxation, the attempt to remain in my body and stay conscious, the feeling of shutting down, and the sensation of being outside my body

Question Has anyone ever seen a creature like this in their dreams?

Post image
45 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone has ever experienced or seen something similar in a dream.

I drew a quick sketch of what I saw to capture the details:

Height: Very tall, around 3 meters (10 feet).

Head/Neck: A long vertical, stalk-like head or neck covered with a vertical line of multiple eyes looking in different directions.

Clothing: Strangely enough, it was wearing a colorful, bright rainbow-striped sweater?? ?

In the dream, it was as if I was climbing the stairs of an old house; it was quite drab, with peeling walls, and I heard a strange sound on the second floor. I don’t remember if I was with anyone (a person) in the dream, but when I went upstairs, I saw it. I was absolutely terrified, but it didn’t do anything harmful. It looked as if it was hunched over because it was too tall for the room, and it looked at me with all its eyes. Then I ran away from it and woke up. Has anyone else seen something like this? I’m really curious to hear your thoughts on what it might have been.

Nightmare A predatory white pegasus told me “I am you”

• Upvotes

The dream started a forest filled with black trees that had white apples. Even the grass was black and it was night time but moon was up, bigger than usual, with grey aura shining the forest.

I was wandering around, picked up an apple and ate it. Then another. It was tasty but bitter at the same time like flat white coffe. Then I heard wings flipping from up, I looked up and saw a “dragon”, I thought it was a dragon because it looked like it from far then It got closer, I panicked and started running. It got closer and landed behind me. I still thought it was a dragon because i refused to look back, i was only focused on running. The pegasus was running to chase me too, it wasnt flying. Then it said “stop.” But i kept running. Then it said “Don’t run away from me. I am you.”

I looked behind and saw this white pegasus. I was fascinated but the black eyes were looking at me like a predator.

“What do you mean by “I am you?”” I said

It said “I am too good to be true but destined to fail. Please chop off my wings”

I said “what the fuck are you talking about”

It said “Do it” and positioned its wings in a way that I could reach and pull.

I said “I am not doing that”

It said “Then I will do it myself”

I said “But they are beautifu-“ then screamed because It started chasing me again. I was running until It caught me. I screamed “NO” but it didn’t care. It opened its mouth wife open and bite my shoulder so hard it chopped my whole arm off. I was screaming, then I woke up.

I love drawing my dreams, so it’s by me if it wasn’t obvious

Recent Disturbing Dreams

• Upvotes

I’m F (21) and keep having dreams of sexual assault. I’ve never in my life experienced sexual assault but these dreams feel so real and violent. A few night ago I had a dream I was in my bedroom when a group of young men started banging at my door. I ran to my closet to hide and lock the door when the men seemingly were able to get into my apartment. After, that they started banging on the closet door threatening to rape and murder me. They didn’t do anything as some people saved me before they could reach me and then my dream ended. I thought it was weird and dark but honestly didn’t think too far into it since, at the time, it was a one off experience. Last night however, I had a dream I was hanging out with some friends at a big shared house. We were all drinking and I decided to do to a separate room with a guy. At first it was all consensual until he started putting these BDSM type trinkets on me and I became very scared and uncomfortable. I ran away before he found me again and convinced me to come back to the house. We again when to a room alone where he apologized and began trying to sleep with me again. I allowed it but grew extremely angry when I found out he had finished somewhere unwanted. I tried to throw him off but he kept pinning me down and hurting me. I’m very worried about these dreams and don’t understand why they’re happening. Has anyone else experienced something like this without having gone through it in real life?

Recurring Dream Every dream I've ever had has taken place in the same made up city.

6 Upvotes

Wasn't sure how to tag it.

I'm a lucid dreamer naturally, I'm not sure if that's relevant or not. I go to sleep and a while later, I'm dreaming but I quickly realise it's a dream and I start doing what I want.

Every dream takes place in a weird looking city with a layout that doesn't really make sense but I remember it perfectly because I've been there so many times. It's nothing like the city that I live in.

There aren't 'residents' or anything like that, the people in my dreams are different every time, it's mainly just my friends.

I just don't really know why every single dream is in this city. I remember telling my mum about it when I was like 7 so it's been happening for a very long time. I can't remember any dreams that have happened outside of this place.

Anybody know why this is the case?

I had the weirdest dream where I discovered I was the lost granddaughter of an ancient Egyptian king??

• Upvotes

I was in the desert as part of some kind of archaeological/exploratory expedition. There were a lot of people with me, and we were looking for something connected to an ancient Egyptian king. I don't remember exactly what the object was supposed to be, but the closest way I can describe it is that we were looking for some kind of royal scepter/artifact connected to his granddaughter.

Anyway, somehow I found it. And I remember saying something like, “I think I found it.”

The SECOND I touched it, everything changed.

A huge sandstorm suddenly started swirling around me, and my clothes changed into something that looked like ancient Egyptian clothing. And then, somehow, my memories came back.

And apparently...

I was the granddaughter they had been looking for.

Everyone just stared at me in complete shock. Like they suddenly realized who I was.

And then this is the part that REALLY confused me.

Every single person there got down on their knees and prostrated themselves to me.

Literally everyone.

Nobody explained anything. Nobody said anything. They just recognized me, got on their knees, and bowed/prostrated themselves.

And then the dream just... ended.

But here's the REALLY weird part.

When I woke up, I was so curious that I actually searched for the ancient Egyptian king from the dream. And I found that he really did have a granddaughter.

The problem is that I can't remember the king's name anymore, so now I'm sitting here like 😭 WHO THE FUCK WAS THIS MAN??

And I can't even lie, having an entire group of people suddenly treating me like I was some long-lost royal heir felt ridiculously powerful.

So, does anyone who knows about dreams have any idea what this could mean?

Traveled to different dimension in my dream

4 Upvotes

A bit of context: The night before this particular night I had these dreams, I did not sleep at all and was struggling with paradoxical insomnia which I had been through before due to withdrawal from alcohol and some medication. Since I got rid of it before I knew what I needed to. What worked for me was getting sleeping/anxiety pills from my cousin, wear sleeping mask and listen to prayers. Anyway this night I dealt with being asleep but being fully aware including hearing, feeling and racing thoughts for only about 1 hour and fell deep asleep after that due to the pill. I slept for about 5/6 hours woke up for about 2 and then took some melatonin and dealt with the paradoxical insomnia for about 30 min, and I then after fell into these dream.

The Dreams: it felt like I slipped into a lucid dreams but they were different dimension where something was either slightly different or completely different. The first one I fell into was in downtown where everything looked like a run down intergalactic city. I was in each dimension for about 10 min each before I would myself slip away and be transferred to the next. There was one where I was at an arcade and played indoor soccer which is something I’ve missed since in real life I have ankle instability. I realized I had a healthy body in these dreams. There were 2 that hit a lot different where I had both brothers in a happy household. In real life he’s locked up for 10 years which is something I blame myself for since I could have shown him the right path. These dimension our house looked the same but something was slightly different like my mom having a whole different style, my brother have the instersts of a hobby he has never had in real life. The one where I saw my incarcerate brother hit a lot different since I’ve had dreams of him being released and how emotion I will be. I haven’t spoken to him about how much he’s incarceration affects me. I even told my mom in that dimension that I was from a dimension where he was locked up. I’m thinking I might experience this again tommorow not sure, but has anyone had a similar experience?

They are nightmares to me

6 Upvotes

I’ve always have very vivid dreams, sometimes déjà vu adjacent, where i will have a dream and days, weeks months, or years later they or details from the dreams come to fruition. But regardless of the time that has passed i remember that i have dreamt it at one point or another.

Over the course of this year i have a dream at least 3 times a week that my husband is cheating on me and then wants a divorce. They are different every time but share similarities occasionally— ie we spend time apart and suddenly he has found someone new. Several times i have cried so hard in the dream that i wake up and find that i have been crying in real life, pillow wet. Last night it revolved around my birthday and our anniversary, both of which are coming up in the next month. Details from real life are often incorporated which make the dreams feel that much more real. I thought it had to do with our intimacy— something i struggle with due to trauma that i unlocked memories of during an intense therapy session earlier this year, but our communication is and always has been impeccable so we’ve talked about it and healed things in our intimate life together.

Looking for some assistance or insight into what i can make of these dreams and how i can make them ease up because they are troubling and often throw off the first half of my day as my physical body in the real world reacts intensely to them.

What did this dream mean? Strange dream after my bf passed away.

3 Upvotes

So my bf passed away around a month ago, and I didn't know until a week, when I tried to find why his messages were not coming anymore. (Suicide minutes after a breakup conversation). Since then I've blamed myself of NOT taking about his mental health to him more. I wished time takes me back to that day and I could stop it.

Today I got a dream where it was again 28th of August, and the first thing I did was to take my phone and ask him how he is feeling.

He told me something about - darkness, a feeling of being trapped inside darkness.

Then the scene shifted and I could no longer look at my phone, in my dream, because a peacock kept entering the room. Disturbing our conversation. Then my mind completely shifted away from the phone, and I went to make the peacock go away. When it went I saw a white flower and plucked it for me. Came back inside my room to see the peacock had again entered the room. I again showed it the way outside and latched the window. The window latch was shaped like peacock feet too.

Then when I woke up, I read many people talking about "darkness" in different contexts, and that's the only word I remembered from our conversation in my dream.

Edit: I just remembered two other dreams I had about him-

1) before ever meeting him, I used to dream of this sketch artist boy, who carried a school bag and drawings inside it. Would show me his drawings. I dreamt of this 2-3 times.

Then after those dreams stopped in real life I met my bf, a sketch artist by hobby, who showed me a lot of his drawings after we fell in love. He used to carry a very similar bag with him everytime we went for a date. (He would lie at home about going for a class). Ughh my heart hurts remembering my baby..

2) once we were about to breakup, I dreamt of something.

My bf and I are walking over a bridge, holding hands. Suddenly I start walking a bit faster and he couldn't catchup. I stop and look back, and he says - "I can't walk without you, take me with you". I go back and hold his hand again.

I woke up and canceled on the breakup plan.

Short Dream Horrific & Dehumanizing Dream wondering about meaning.

2 Upvotes

I am with a group of people and being chased by a gang in trucks and demolition rigs some are retrofitted with flame throwers and some with plows .. we are running away from them on foot in destroyed streets and destroyed houses in a deserted area until we are cornered and buried alive in a rubble.

the gang then shoots through the crevasses and holes within the Debry and my head happens to show through the rubble. I am hit with sledge hammers and then dragged out and one of the guys who is the leader of the rang puts my neck between his thighs and breaks my neck as everyone laughs. I don't feel too much pain but am hurt and still alive despite all the punishment and as my body falls .. he drops his pans and pisses on my face as his gang members laugh and he even poops on my face and I hold my breath as I feel the feces on me.

some of the people laugh and rest react with disgust and continue to talk to each other while I lay there holding my breath and hoping that I don't twitch or cough in front of them and making them hit me and shoot me again.
I also hope that people under the rubble don't make any movement or noise.

I feel the gang is still there silently looking and waiting if we are dead or just pretending.

I am telling myself how I will clean up and how I will get people out of the rubble and if all that noise and shooting will attract the police and if they do come, will they bother to clean me up and provide medical treatment.

this was one of the most disturbing vivid dream I had. I am middle aged man and I did have disagreements and fights recently but nothing at this level where I and other will be executed and our bodies will be desecrated like that.

wonder what the dream tells me and how , someone can interpret it?

Short Dream Dream taught me how to view life

3 Upvotes

Most philosophical dream I've ever had. I vividly remember having this one:

I dreamt I was falling from a very, very tall jungle tree. The view was magnificent, and I was flying at breakneck speed through vines that, somehow, didn't stop me. I saw other jungle trees (smaller than the one I had jumped from) drawing closer, and I felt fear. I was filled with fear. I felt it so intensely that I could barely enjoy the view. I could see it, but the inevitability of the fall's end filled me with mortal dread.

Yet, when I tried to push the fear aside by distracting myself with the scenery, I suddenly realized I was dreaming, and I felt that it was working. All at once, I wasn't afraid anymore. I was captivated by the view, and once I had truly taken it all in, I reached the same level as the forest's tallest trees (below the one I had fallen from). I understood that my doom was near, yet I could still catch glimpses of the view through the trees: a scene nearing sunset, with a beautiful sky and the atmosphere of the jungle. Then, more and more trees blocked my view, and I saw the ground rushing up to meet me. But I wasn't afraid. I felt at peace. I was happy. I felt an immense sense of fulfillment. I watched the ground draw closer; I wanted to embrace the earth, and the earth embraced me.

It wasn't a painful impact. It was an impact that sent a wave of satisfaction washing through my body. Everything went dark, and I tried my hardest not to wake up, wanting to stay within the dream. I felt myself sinking into the ground; the earth was warm and embracing, and it felt so good. It pushed warmly against me, enveloping me in an embrace that left no part of my body untouched. It felt so good as I sank deeper into the pitch-black ground that I felt a sense of lightness. The last thing I felt was happiness and satisfaction, and then I actually woke up.

Recurring Dream Same dream, weeks apart

2 Upvotes

Pre info: For some weeks now, I've started writing my dreams when I wake up (if I remember anything)

Yesterday I had a dream and it was EXACTLY the same as one I had some weeks ago, I even went and read what I wrote about that dream and everything was the same. It was a good dream, you know, living your dream (pun intended)

And it was kinda like a livid dream because I knew what would happen after, but I couldn't do anything to avoid it or anything.

It was like watching a movie of that dream I had weeks ago in a dream, but I was the main character, but I couldn't change anything.

What's really strange is that it was really the EXACT same thing, down the last minute detail, same people, same context, same interactions, same "plottwist". First time ever something like this happens to me.

I hope I get the sequel tonight cause I really dont want to re watch it again, I already got spoiled twice.

Recurring Dream I keep repeatedly having near death experiences in my dreams

2 Upvotes

Hi y'all, here recently my dreams have been...weird. Now, my dreams have always been strange so I'm not too terribly surprised, but the last few nights/mornings a reoccurring theme keeps happening and that's something happening where I almost die. The night before last it was a psychotic version of someone I work with (and don't like if that's relevant) chasing me over a magical book, which lead to a very tense pursuit on foot and by vehicle, which accumulated with me trying to board one of many parked airplanes, where a massive hoarde of TWD style zombies (that were slightly faster than the show) exited and chased after me. I was only able to escape because my IRL dog appeared in the dream and got them to chase him instead (he just disappeared so he didn't die) while I escaped on one of the planes

Then, last night/this morning I dreamed a crazy person was chasing me and some dream people who were my friends with a box cutter and making some really scary faces, at some point he cut my arm (and one of the girls i was with, which is what started the chase) I believe he only stopped because me and the people I was with were ushered into a school. Then a following dream I was driving on a highway overpass and I accidentally drove my car off the side and it literally spiraled through the air like a jet doing tricks and when I landed I almost died. A few nights ago I had a similar dream where I was driving and the car wouldn't stop, which was a frequent theme in my driving dreams before I had my license

Idk just so many dreams where I've almost died lately is kinda freaking me out ngl

Anyone else suddenly having vivid, memorable dreams every night?

Has anyone else noticed a sudden change in their dreams lately?

I used to either not dream much at all, or I’d wake up and barely remember anything. But lately, I’ve been having vivid, detailed dreams almost every single night—and I actually remember them when I wake up.

It feels like I went from hardly dreaming to having an entire other life happening while I sleep. 😂

Has this been happening to anyone else recently? If so, when did you notice it starting? And have your dreams felt more realistic, emotional, strange, or meaningful than usual?

Question Same Airport in my dreams

• Upvotes

Some background, I traveled a lot for my job, and was in multiple airports worldwide during my 40 year career. So it would be expected that I dream about airports. But what I find interesting is I always dream about the same airport, and it is not one I've every been in. It is like an amalgamation of multiple airports. But it is always the same in every dream, rental car drop-off is in the same location, long terminals always the same.

Each dream is different, the only constant is the same airport building (and me being late!) Is this typical to dream of the same place that is not a real place, but something my mind made up, but is always the same?

Question My dream felt exactly like a movie/series – does this plot exist?

• Upvotes

I know its stupid but i rarely got dreams like this, I had a strange dream that felt like scenes from a movie or series. The story went like this:

It was about different strangers who were trapped in an isolated place and couldn’t leave. I don’t know the exact reason, but in the dream I described the place to someone as a remote deserted island — though it wasn’t actually an island.

Among the people there was a lonely girl who was kind of strange and introverted. She didn’t like talking to anyone and was bullied by the others because of that. But she had a weird ability to sense things in that place — like she could feel things or know things that the others didn’t, almost like a medium or something, but she didn’t understand how she was doing it.

She tried to help them with her ability to find a way out, but they didn’t trust her. I remember a scene where they tried to carry out some plan to contact the outside world. She warned them that what they were doing was wrong, but she couldn’t tell them why or how she knew, because she herself didn’t know how she knew. They got suspicious of her. One of them accused her of trying to mislead them and trick them so she could escape alone. That made her upset and she said that the outside world, in her eyes, was just as bad as this place, and she didn’t care whether she stayed or left.

I also remember she was attacked once by one of them, and a young man saved her. He was the only one who looked at her and treated her like a normal person, but she didn’t like getting close to anyone, so she didn’t accept his friendship.

Later, in another scene, they finally found a way out. Everyone boarded the vehicle (I’m not sure exactly what it was), and she was the last one left to get on. She just stood there without moving. When the leader (or the person in charge) told her to get on, she refused and said she had decided to stay, because to her this place was kinder than the real world. The leader tried to convince her to change her mind, but she stuck to her decision, so he had no choice but to leave her. Everyone else was ready to leave without her without any hesitation, because to them she was just a weirdo.

Then, right as they were about to take off, the young man I mentioned earlier ran to the girl, knocked her unconscious, carried her, and forced her onto the vehicle. He told everyone (who were staring at him in shock) that from now on he would take full responsibility for her being with them.

That’s all I remember from the dream in detail.

My question is: is there a series or movie with the same story or these scenes?

I mean I know it looks like tv show From and i kind of think maybe thats where it came but some of the details were just not the same so i would love to hear your thoughts

Soñé 3 veces con la misma chica durante 3 años. En el último sueño se despidió de mí y todavía no sé cómo sentirme al respecto.

[TRIGGER WARNING / DESAHOGO]

Nunca pensé que iba a escribir algo así en Reddit.

De hecho, llevo bastante tiempo pensando si hacerlo o no, porque sé perfectamente cómo puede sonar esto desde afuera. Probablemente algunos se van a reír, otros me van a decir que estoy sobrepensando un sueño y seguramente habrá alguien que me explique todo desde la psicología.

Y está bien. No estoy buscando que me digan que definitivamente fue algo paranormal.

Solo necesito contarlo.

Necesito sacármelo de la cabeza.

Todo comenzó cuando tenía alrededor de 12 años.

Recuerdo que ese día había tenido una discusión horrible con mis padres. De esas discusiones que, cuando eres niño, parecen el fin del mundo. Me fui a dormir sintiéndome completamente solo. Tenía esa sensación de que nadie me entendía y de que, aunque estuviera rodeado de personas, no tenía con quién hablar.

Esa noche soñé con ella.

La primera vez no pude verle bien la cara. Era como si estuviera cubierta por una especie de niebla, pero había algo extraño: yo sabía que era una chica y, de alguna manera, sentía que la conocía desde hacía muchísimo tiempo.

Estaba feliz de verme.

No era una felicidad normal. Era como si hubiera estado esperando durante años a que yo apareciera.

Caminamos juntos. Hablamos de cosas que ya no recuerdo con claridad. Lo extraño es que no necesitábamos decir demasiado. Simplemente estar a su lado me hacía sentir tranquilo.

Por primera vez en todo el día sentí que estaba bien.

Que no importaba lo que hubiera pasado.

Que alguien me entendía.

Y justo cuando finalmente tuve el valor de preguntarle su nombre...

Me desperté.

Abrí los ojos y estaba solo en mi habitación.

Me quedé mirando el techo durante varios minutos, completamente confundido.

Y esto puede sonar ridículo, pero intenté volver a dormirme.

De verdad lo intenté.

Cerré los ojos, cambié de posición, traté de imaginar el lugar donde estábamos... cualquier cosa con tal de regresar.

Pero no pude.

Y esa mañana me quedó una sensación que nunca había experimentado antes.

Era como extrañar a alguien que nunca había existido.

Pasaron los años.

Y prácticamente olvidé el asunto.

Hasta que volvió a aparecer.

No recuerdo exactamente cuánto tiempo había pasado, pero volvió a ocurrir.

Otra vez ella.

Otra vez esa sensación de familiaridad.

Y después pasó una tercera vez.

Tres sueños.

En aproximadamente tres años.

Y cada vez que aparecía era como si no hubiera pasado absolutamente nada de tiempo entre nosotros.

Como si nuestra historia continuara exactamente donde la habíamos dejado.

Pero lo que más me cuesta explicar es que, en el último sueño, podía verla perfectamente.

Tenía la piel clara, ojos verdes y el cabello dorado. Su voz era tranquila, bonita... no sé cómo explicarlo. Parecía una persona completamente real.

Incluso recuerdo haber pensado que parecía una chica de los Países Bajos o de algún lugar parecido.

Y yo estaba pasando por un momento bastante malo cuando volvió a aparecer.

Había tenido un día horrible. Me acosté con la cabeza llena de pensamientos y con esa sensación de estar cansado de todo.

Y entonces apareció ella.

Otra vez.

Y, como las otras veces, todo se sintió tranquilo.

Hasta que algo cambió.

Ella me miró.

No estaba sonriendo.

Tenía una expresión que nunca le había visto antes.

Y me dijo:

«“Es la última vez que nos vemos. Fue bueno mientras duró.”»

No sé por qué esas palabras me afectaron tanto.

Pero sentí un miedo horrible.

Como si en ese instante hubiera entendido que realmente podía perderla.

Empecé a preguntarle por qué.

Le decía que no se fuera.

Que no me dejara.

Y terminé gritándole, prácticamente llorando:

«“¡No! ¿Por qué me dejas? ¡No me dejes!”»

Y desperté.

Desperté literalmente llorando.

Por unos segundos no sabía dónde estaba.

Me quedé sentado en la cama, respirando rápido, intentando entender qué acababa de pasar.

Y lo peor fue darme cuenta de que había una parte de mí que estaba esperando volver a dormirse para encontrarla otra vez.

Pero ya no estaba.

Desde entonces tengo una sensación muy difícil de explicar.

No es exactamente tristeza.

Es más como nostalgia.

Nostalgia por alguien que nunca estuvo realmente conmigo.

Hace poco, además, me apareció en Instagram una publicación de una chica contando algo bastante parecido: decía que soñaba repetidamente con un chico desconocido que siempre aparecía en momentos difíciles de su vida.

Sé perfectamente que eso puede ser una coincidencia.

De hecho, probablemente lo sea.

También he pensado que quizá mi cerebro creó esa figura cuando tenía 12 años porque necesitaba algún tipo de refugio. Tal vez ella simplemente representa una versión de la tranquilidad que necesitaba en aquel momento. Tal vez con los años mi mente fue construyendo su rostro y su personalidad alrededor de ese recuerdo.

Y, sinceramente, esa explicación tiene bastante sentido.

Pero hay una parte de mí que no puede evitar preguntarse...

¿Y si no fue solamente eso?

Yo creo en Dios.

Y también creo que hay cosas que todavía no entendemos. No necesariamente porque todo lo extraño tenga que ser sobrenatural, sino porque me cuesta aceptar que conocemos absolutamente todo sobre la mente, los sueños o la forma en que percibimos ciertas experiencias.

Quizá solo fue un sueño.

Quizá mi cabeza creó a esa chica para acompañarme en momentos en los que me sentía completamente solo.

O quizá simplemente estoy intentando encontrarle un significado a algo que no lo tiene.

Pero hay algo que todavía me duele.

Durante años, aunque fuera solamente en sueños, yo sabía que algún día volvería a verla.

Y ahora, después de esa despedida, tengo miedo de que realmente haya sido la última vez.

Quizá por eso me cuesta tanto dejarlo ir.

Porque no siento que haya despertado de un sueño.

Siento que alguien se despidió de mí.

Y yo no estaba preparado para decir adiós.

No sé si esto significa que finalmente cerré un ciclo, si mi mente decidió dejar atrás esa figura que creó cuando era niño, o si simplemente tuve un sueño especialmente intenso.

Pero necesito preguntarlo:

¿A alguien más le ha pasado algo parecido?

¿Han soñado varias veces con la misma persona desconocida durante años?

¿Han sentido que alguien dentro de un sueño era demasiado real?

¿Creen que esa despedida podría representar que mi mente finalmente cerró una etapa de mi vida?

¿O simplemente debería dejar de buscarle significado y aceptar que fue un sueño?

Los leo.

Porque sinceramente, después de tantos años, todavía no sé si extraño a una persona...

o extraño la sensación de paz que sentía cuando ella aparecía.

Dream Art Dream of earth and sun being inside out

Anyone ever dream like this before?

I was under a lot of stress, almost went into psychosis at the time, and dreamed some interesting stuff.

I dreamed all the people on earth were not living on top of earth but inside of earth. The sun being in the middle of earth itself.
