Last night I had a really nice dream. In it I was in a happy and loving relationship with someone who cared about me. It didn't even last that long, but in the dream I felt like it had been longer.

I've been thinking about it all day. She didn't even have a face, I just remember hugging her and thinking about how comfortable I was.

One of those not-nightmares that feels like one in retrospect

I had one of those during a rough patch 6 or so years ago. It honestly kind of restored my hope and optimism, and I was thinking about it for the next month. I've never had a dream like that again

It just made me feel really shitty. I fell in love with my bed time hallucination. Feels pretty pathetic to me.

I'm just having a whinge though. I'll be fiiiine

I get a few of those dreams every now and then. It always feels good at the time, but after waking it's terrible. I always feel so sad and lonely afterwards and a part of me always wants to go back. I'm pretty sure these kinds of dreams are fairly common to experience, but I'm not sure if that's any solace.
