I hate waking up. I hate myself for waking up. I hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. I wake up and to myself say “Oh great. Still alive.” and then end up nearly in tears.
Today was slightly different. I had this dream…It was like a videogame. I was almost like Zelda…there was a voice talking to me. I had a orange tabby cat that floated above me as a guide. The very beginning started out with three major pieces of land in the middle of space; much like Super Mario Galaxy. I was on the first island. It had a pathway with many dead trees. Gardens were at the other edge, filled with chain chomps from various Mario games. The second Island was not attached, but there was a bridge going between it and the third island. The tabby cat told me I had to hit the button to lower the bridge. I then turned around, and jumped off of the edge. (Once again, like in Super Mario Galaxy) gravity pulled me towards a giant cube structure made of multicolored blocks. The cube was distorted and you could walk into it in various places. I went inside and ventured around, and after a while, I found the button. I pushed it, and was instantly back at the first island, and saw that the bridge had been lowered.
I then jumped to the second island, which was only about a jump’s breadth away. This one was quite like the first, but no gardens or chain chomps were seen. A voice…who’s I don’t know (it was male)…told me to go down the bridge and see him. I did so by jumping down the bridge, not touching it at all. There was a great half-domed stage. It was orange, and a short male figure was standing there. He told me, “You have done well, now do it again.”
I woke up to this, went out of my room, thinking nothing of it, grabbed some breakfast, posted a rant on here about sexuality, and went back to bed. Funny thing was, I had this dream again. Starting at the same place. I went through the same procedure, this time, with no tabby cat. I got to the bridge part again, and this time I went down the bridge, quite like a slide. I did so collecting stars and coins and gems…it was…fun…
I got to the bottom, and there was no stage. Instead there was a new island. This one was connected by a new bridge that was already down. On the new island, there was a mansion. A beautiful mansion. The tabby cat was back by now, and told me I could fly. A meter appeared at the top of the screen and I jumped. I flied. I freaking flied. But only for the amount the meter allotted me to. I didn’t even make it to the mansion.
I woke up again. Very nearly crying. I was almost rocking back and forth saying “I want to go back.” over and over. I tried to fall back asleep. Nothing. Later, as I stayed in bed, my parents started fighting. Nearly screaming. This resulted in my mom charging into her room and slamming the door. My dad went outside. I eventually fell back asleep only to find darkness. The bliss was gone. I woke up (AGAIN) to find my mom sitting on her laptop when I walked out of my room. We talked a little. Small talk. I decided to come write this down. Sorry if I wasted your time. I just needed to write it.
I don’t know if anyone will understand the agony I just experienced…

I understand. Believe me I understand.
Having recurring dreams as an escape to the pain of just.. feeling so.. hollow.
Why can’t I enjoy life as much as these dreams allow me to? Why can’t I see the beauty around me when I’m awake?
Video Games play a huge part of my life and childhood; so I often find myself escaping into that type of fantasy too.
Really? I thought no one would understand…t-thanks 🙂
Wasting my time??? That was a freaking awesome dream sequence. You seem extremely close to having (if you aren’t already) lucid dreaming experiences where you take full control.
Try saying your own name in a dream. You do that and watch what happens. Such a feeling of power, control and self assurance can be had in lucid dreams. I miss them.
I’m so thankful for dreams even if they are much more rare for me these days. They let us experience amazing things. I’ve spent hours wandering through mansions(my favorite kind of dream) I’ve lived entire separate lives in dreams.
It’s the waking that’s the rough part. You’ve got that right.
Well, thank you 🙂 its the first dream I’ve had in a while…but the next time the opportunity comes up, I’ll try it. That reminds me, I need to post about something else…
