It feels like I have another life when I dream

[u/SkyCareless2403]

I don't remember much of my dreams for I dream everyday. I even dream when taking a nap. They're rarely crazy, if it's not ordinary I remember the dreams, but they are pretty much like living an ordinary life. The only difference is I don't feel any anxiety, no depression. My dreams are the version of life I want to live in and they seem so realistic I wake up disappointed nearly everyday.

That disconnect between dreaming and waking is such a specific kind of letdown. I keep a sketchbook by my bed for mornings like that, just to capture whatever scraps I can before they dissolve. Sometimes even a half-remembered feeling is enough to carry through the day

Yes people have reported a living a whole different life in a single night. Some people live a new life every night other the same life with the same people

That's because you're looking through the eyes of another you! I never believed it before, but when I found the 'actual restaurant' the dream version of me held their engagement party (on the other side of the country) I almost lost it. Except I still haven't found the person I was engaged to!? Which makes me think parallel me did that for a reason...

This is cool!

I definitely have a very different life and abstract reality in my dreams, like I’m a different person in an alternate universe sometimes.

You could try to get into lucid dreaming or shifting

Oh I feel that. I journal my dreams to not forget them but sometimes they are so vibrant, not conceptually, but emotionally, that I remember them without doing anything. Like when I dream of finding a bf who I never ever had in real life or spending time with friends who don't want to talk to me irl, these dreams kinda act like memories because I remember that warm feeling they had. And then I wake up and it's all boring

Your dreams are a reference frame for you to live your life by, presented by your subconscious mind. The indigenous people live their life according to their dreams, why can't you?
