…and upon awakening. I’ve been having these really strange feelings and emotions during all of my dreams lately, And when I wake up, almost 95% of the time I dream, I feel emotions. Sometimes I feel these strange, nostalgic feelings all day, IRL. It’s kinda like I feel connected, in some way, to the dream.
Okay, so actually, for the last month, I have been keeping a DJ. I must say, my dream recall has improved wholly, and along with my improved recollection of dreams, are the feelings, thoughts and even the dream scripts. I’m beginning to become quite proficient in recalling at least 3 dreams a night. Thats good. Normally, I would only remember like one line, and the one line I would remember would be the line right before I awaken. And even then, would I only remember Dream fragments from several dreams I’d have for the duration of the night.
To get to the point, now that I recall dreams almost crystal clear, it has become much of an emotional process. I do enjoy dreaming, extremely, but I’m beginning to feel like I belong @ wherever my consciousness is, when I dream. It is very painful to me, as I find myself, “highly anticipating” my dreams at night.
I am beginning to notice more and more dreamsigns, which obviously leads me into LD’s. More commonly, I have become quite notable of the quality of my dreams – the surrealness of them. Some being very vivid, and rich in color, and some not, even some in black and white.
The other night, I had a dream in which I returned to a place I once visited in a dream once before. The place was percieved as being New Jersey in the dream, and it looked like NJ as well. The emotions I felt when I returned to this physically unknown place, however, were overwhleming. The first time I visited this place in a dream, I can recall that being a very emotional experience. But, the dream themes were very dissimilar, and in the most recent dream of this place, I found myself surrounded by DC’s I knew, and specifically, a person, I love deeply, and know as my best friend. I will not go into detail about the dream because, frankly, who cares?
Sometimes I feel like I am in a different time, or era, surrounded by people that, obviously, I have no clue of their existence IRL, but somehow, I know them in the dream, I even have feelings of deep love towards these DC’s. Could this be OBE I’m experienceing, or is it normal to feel very deeply emotionally attached to my dream life? Why is it such a painful process for me? Does anybody else feel emotionally connected to there dreams or any other experiences involving altered consciousness? Please help
