It's summer break now, so I have a considerable amount of time to catch up on some needed sleep. With this has come a few lucid dreams, but also a lot of dreams in general as I am sleeping in later. As of late I have gone through a pretty traumatic breakup, and while I have been able to deal with it fairly okay, when I fall asleep I am sadly no longer in control. For the past three nights now, I have had very vivid and long dreams where I fall in love, only to wake up that morning pretty depressed because it was never real. Tonight, I am worried about the same thing occurring again yet am still excited because quite frankly it has been pretty fun in a way. Has anybody had problems with falling in love/becoming attached to dream characters, only to have trouble coping with the fact that it was only a dream, and how do you handle it?
