Feeling Attached To Persons Ive Dreamed About?

Its like this. Prettymuch everytime i dreamed about a person of the other sex, ill be in "love" of them for the next few days. This is something ive noticed when thinking back, and it happened recently too. It doesnt mather of the conditions, i once dreamed about fighting a girl (hehe) and next day i had feelings for her. Anyone knows why this is? is it just me? Maybe you could think back and see if it happens to you?
Im not sure if it applies to other stuff too, i think it does, since ive been attached to stuff ive dreamt about. If you wanna say anything about this please post:)

Haha, I had this happen to me once. I had a dream spanning two dream days where I was with an imaginary lady friend. I woke up and ended up thinking about her for the next two days. This only happened that one time, so its not like it's a common occurance for me. But I do know what you mean by falling in love with a dream character.:)

And yeah, I think it can apply to other things. I don't have any examples, but I don't see why not. I've been attached to a certain dreamscape before, if that counts.

Thing is, those ive dreamt about are as far i can remember real people:) Anyway for everyone who reads this topic, please think back:) Maybe we could be on to something. Who knows.

It happened to me too! And I also thought I was the only one :? ... I've had this dream last summer of a classmate (that I had never been attracted to) and we were dancing and he was beig very sweet. When I got to school the other day, it just hit me how cute he is, it lasted about 3 days and then I was over it. About a month ago, it happened again - the same guy. It lasted a whole week this time and I was starting to get really worried...

I don't know why this happens, maybe it's a wish of the subconcius or something... Does ayone have any solutions to this?

Yes, exactly the same thing, it lasts a couple of days and then its gone. Maybe yet another proof that there is no such thing as love:P Maybe that love that people dont call "true" love is just this. Im trying to figure out the reason. Ireally have no idea tho.

This actually happened to me recently. but it's lasted longer than a few days. A LOT longer lol. This is based on a real person of course. I know it will never happen, but sometimes i still get carried away!

Yes, this also hapens a lot to me to. This has been going on since I've started my dream journal and is still happening. I'll always have a really emotional dream about the same girl, and as I wake the feeling will last through the day and I will always feel bumbed it was just a dream. I'm not obsessed about her or any thing, I dont have a clue why it hapens. :?
I got it figured out though, its my subconsciences master plan to make me suffer then kill me.... :shock:

It's not just you. Many people get this, it seems. I've had it a few times with relation to people from real-life.

What REALLY sucks is when you fall in love in a dream with a person who DOESN'T exist in real life. A fictional character. :?

This happened to me except not exactly...

I was going down a rapids toward a waterfall (with a girl ive never seen before but in the dream i had known her a long time) we each were in different boats. i couldnt control my boat and she couldnt control hers. i couldnt reach the shore line. She pushed herself off of me to push me into a dock to save my life... unfortunatley she didnt make it and fell off the waterfall and died :blue: :blue: I immediatly woke up and started to cry even though i never have seen her before until that dream...

just thinking of it now makes me sad...

...

...

:blue:

It's happened to me. I even got a name. Victoria Marie. The whole dream was like a date, and I got to know her.

I dremt of an old X girlfreind about 2 weeks ago, and i was really cravin that booty aain, but the time has passed, oh yea and shes EFFed all of my freinds after me so EF that.

Hehe, maybe falling in love is actually dreaming of someone the night before O_o

heh Demon that's funny (although I wonder why you discredit love so much) (discredit... this is a word right? hehe)

It's really weird how can dreams "mimic" feelings... and we wake up "completely" different. Sadness, happiness, love, hatred, fear, hyper, pain, peace, what can't we do in dreams? XD

I've tried both - dreaming of an imaginary girl and then think about her for the next 3 days, but I've also tried dreaming of a girl, either from a class or a friends friend, that I never saw as attractive (for me at least), but then after a certain dream, suddenly I would start to take interest in this girl, but like some of you said, that also last a couple of days before that feeling fades, since the real-life girl is never a perfect match of the dream version girl.. :blue:

A couple of times, I've had some imaginary characters that was in my head even after I woke up. Talked to me and such. I can only remember there being females seeking companionship. They can stay in my head for a short or long period of time (never spanned days, though, more like hours) and I can still picture them clearly. Then they 'get bored' or I reject them, and I kind of lose the 'connection'. Heh. Interesting thread.

I had a dream one time where a girl I liked, in real life and the dream, was hanging out with these 2 other girls from school. In real life I had no emotion towards them, but one wouldn't let me go with them cause, and I quote, "he's too poor to be seen around us".
From that night on I have had strong hating emotion towards her. But it's wierd cause now I really think she is a spoiled brat...cause she said that in a dream.
lol
I guess it works with hate, not just love.

I can only remember two dreams where there was a person I actually knew in real life be in my dream and it alter my feelings about the person when I woke up. One wasn't too strange I just saw some guy in his underwear and now everytime I see the person I think of him in his underwear. The other one was a bit stranger. The person in it I haven't seen of even thought about in at least 5 years. I don't really think about him differently now but in the dream I remember how I felt.

I normally have a crush on someone, then i dream about them and fall in love.

It's not just you

I have felt attached to dream people and I never met them in reality, I have even talked to them for a short while after and I even gave them names.

what I don't like is when DC becomes aware that it's a dream.... and thus becomes attached...

This make me think and the songs, dream lover, sweat dreams baby, and if you are but a dream I hope i never waken.

You are more emotional when you dream. That is one of the reasons why you are hit harder by feelings such as sadness, love, etc.

Dream induced infatuation (with real people) is fairly common for me. I probably get it about once every few months, and it lasts a few days to a week. But once you're used to it, you can ignore it.

Dreams are wonderful, and they lead to reality that you want to make. This makes me think about the story of a boy who fed his dream imaginery tiger, which was his friend. But the tiger came in and mauled people.

I thought That people we get attatched to from dreams could be angels, or they could be people that have died and need feelings of friendship to enable them to pass into the next world. They might not mean you harm and if they do not, Why not?

But this is just a thought of mine.

I had a dream about a friend of mine getting a terminal disease. When I woke up I was going over to their place and was informed (incorrectly) that they were in hospital.

The dream did give me a sense of that person as mattering to me, whereas before i didn't care too much.

Perhaps this is a positive.

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.:roll:

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 :P

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.

:lol: 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:embarrassed:
Yes it does:cry:

I miss you already my beautiful clay lady!:morecrying:

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 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.
