It was a love story. No specific person, it was an imaginary girl that my brain cooked up for the dream. We met, dated, fell in love. And it kept going. Getting married, having kids, and in such detail that it is still in my memory as strong as some things that happened for real.

Same, I felt so much love in that one particular dream (and I for one don't usually remember dreams at all), but this one holds a special place. Met this woman, felt in love, have a daughter whose name I remember when I woke up but sadly not anymore.

You know, seeing these responses with other people having experienced it too is cathartic.

I've never met anyone irl that had that kind of dream, and the last time I mentioned it online, nobody popped up that had. It's nice to know that it isn't some kind of isolated thing, that it's not just me being weird.

I had "the dream" this year. It was about an ex I saw myself with, but it didn't work out. I woke up, looked around in a haze, realized what happened and instantly got the biggest panic attack of my life. It fucked me up for an entire week. Had to take strong meds to calm down. The mind can be a very scary thing sometimes.

I am now middle age, the dream was when I was like 20, 21, and have a real life children (daughter+son) and wife. But I do think of my dream wife and daughter now and then and felt a tingle of old love for them. Maybe in a parallel universe that they exist.
