Thread: Feeling Attached To Persons Ive Dreamed About?

A positive what? Positive experience, probably.

I guess the lesson from this is that dreams clarify how you feel. Sometimes emotions of attachment to people need a dream to bring them to the front of the mind.

That doesn't happen to me so often, but when it does happen, it's really intense. Not too long ago I dreamt there was this girl who, in the dream, was a childhood friend of mine, and she was angry with me, hurt that I had moved away and lost contact with her (and I've never really moved anywhere...). Upon reuniting with her, I felt so guilty about leaving someone I loved so much behind that the guilt stuck with me for a while after waking up. I even gave her a name as I wrote the dream down in my DJ.

Aw. That sounds like a result of wanting to reconnect with a part of yourself. Which will of course bring up strong feelings. Or a wish to connect with someone, I guess. Fascinating experience either way. Did you get a lot out of it?

I am glad positive feedback was got and hopefully things put into a better light. I have items from the house just vanish, the room has been locked and no visible signs of a forced entry. I wonder if the people I dream about and become emotionally attached to are responsible. If so, could they do worse?

I think you should look at it likw this, whats the difference between them and people who are outside your dream? you can touch both, talk to both smell both, laugh with both so why cant you love both?
Just try and realize they only exist and are only alive in your imagination while you sleep there very existance depends on your perception

It happened to me once with a completely fictional person. She was absolutely wonderful in my dream, we had a fantastic time, and when I woke up, I was feeling quite contented and peaceful, sort of daydreaming about this girl...

Until I remembered that not only was I single, the girl didn't even exist. I ended up thinking about it for a little over a week. It was poignant enough to warrant a short prose poem, even.

I met the perfect girl one day
she was smart, funny, beautiful, and positively wacky.
I met this girl one day, but she was only a dream
and I woke up feeling empty
having wasted so much time
only to lose what I had never had.
I met the perfect girl one day.
True story.
I'll tell you about it some time.

I had similar experiances

I've had a few dreams about one girl in particular who pretty much embodies my vision of a "perfect girl" (personality, looks etc.) And I always wake up and for the next few days/weeks am completely infatuated with this girl. She doesn't exist in real life as far as i know, she is just a dream character but I can't help but feel what you guys are describing. The same thing but to a lesser extent often happens with girls who I do know in real life, but this happens more often.

Attachments to dream people is amazing, but I think if I became attached to dream people and they committed a crime against me, that would be new for the papers.

Has happened to me multiple times.

Mostly people from school, some I actually end up dating.

But you feel really like in love with them, just from having that dream, sometimes I don't even have previous thoughts about them before that dream which is weird.

WOULD'NT IT be good id you could get photographs of your dream friends. That would be a turn up for the books.

A long time ago this happened to me. I had an amazing dream about my dream woman and for over two weeks I was destroyed because I "lost" her

It is amazing how these dream people affect different people. The world is cruel and the fantasy world is a nice place, at times I would love to move in and never come out.

I've had this happened to me plenty of times, of course it just happened to have been the same guy every time.

I can't remember if I read this somewhere or if someone told me this, but it could just be your subconcious projecting what you want out of a relationship/signicant other. Even if you weren't physically attracted to them, the feeling was there, you just become more aware of it in the waking?

That's why when I dream, I focus more on the my feelings and not always what I see. What you can can be deceiving.
But hey, enjoy it while you can and be thankful it only lasted a few days and not the span of almost your entire existence (long story).

I have had this happen to me several times. The first time, I didn't understand it the way I understand it now. The object of affection, in my dream, quickly became the object of my affection in real life (even though I honestly would never have had attraction to this person). Unfortunately the dream induced feelings faded fast than his feelings for me faded and I had a problem on my hands. Since them I have learned that dream induced feelings, although natural, are not really real. Therefore when this happens I tell myself that it is just dream induced, I do not entertain the notion and allow it to grow. I stiffle it and learn to control impulses. Such is life.

The other world can get out to us and return but we cannot get there.

I used to have this crush (but she lived 60 miles away since a few years ago). Every time I saw her in my dreams (which was rare), I'd wake up disappointed that it was only a dream and would have her stuck in my mind a few days.

Yes
Yes it does

I miss you already my beautiful clay lady!

I've felt deep love for fictional dream characters (which really sucks upon awakening, especially when you start to forget how they looked, or didn't remember in the first place!), and then for DCs that were of real people. For me the infatuation with the people I've known but haven't thought about for a while usually lasts a few weeks and in some extreme cases coupled with repetitious dreams, months.

I don't forget what my dream people look like.

I should probably focus on this aspect of my dreams more actually. Usually I'm more concerned with the environment around me than what DCs look like.

I don't agree, I had this long dream last night where me and this imaginary girl fell in love (not that "one in a lifetime" but still...) and I just feel great, even realizing it was just a dream...
Whenever I fall in love or kiss or make love in a dream it$ always with an unknown girl

This happens every now and then. I wake up just wishing that person could exist in real life.

I have had that feeeling to. I think about how with having these dream people live with you they do not cause problems. I wonder about their existance in the real world.
