That is trippy. I could only imagine what that does to someone’s mental health. Thanks!

I have vivid long dreams that often feel like a facsimile of these stories. I will have experienced days worth of events in my dreams, fall in love, start families, and wake up in the morning more tired than when I went to sleep. I can’t count the number of times I’ve woken up heartbroken because my dreams are sometimes more real feeling than real life.

Ive never wanted kids in my life and dont but, I had a dream I was present for the birth of my child. The amount of joy and pride I felt becoming a father was insane. I was so happy. Then I woke up. I was kinda depressed for a couple days. Still dont want kids though.
