I think this one’s been done a few times on here, I think I might have done a previous thread on this myself, but it’s surely the worst feeling in the world. Takes 10 seconds to realise your back here when you wake up, then another 10 seconds to fully become aware of things, and then you think FUCK I’m back here again. It’s ridiculous. It would be a lot easier to be in dreamland all the time or be in coma and never wake up.

I wouldn’t want that. Often I’ve become aware that I’m dreaming, and it can be very uncomfortable (because I *know* I have to get out of there). There are a few dreams I’ve been disappointed to wake from, but most of the time I’m glad when I’m done sleeping (because every single time, I remember part of my dreams, and it’s rare that I would have *chosen* to see/experience whatever it was).
I sometimes wonder if this reality is another “level” of dreams, but if that’s the case, I am inclined to think that everyone is experiencing it at the same time (like in The Matrix), because I don’t favor the idea of solipsism. There’s too much detail and too much shit going on in this world to be imagined by any one person, surely.
I know that feeling. And I wish I could dream forever. In my dreams everything is so different, I feel genuinely happy. Everything is possible, I’m safe, I’m free.
Didn’t you ever get the feeling that reality feels so unreal after waking up from a long or deep dream? Those are the times I feel I could jump off a bridge with no fear. It’s kind of dangerous.
In my 20s I could force myself to sleep 18 – 20 hours a day. It was a drug.
Unlike the rest of you, I don’t dream every night (or don’t remember). But I agree; sleep is fun. I just get so overwhelmed that I wish that I could enter into that safe place and hide there forever.
