Ever feel sad or depressed after waking up from an awesome dream?

This is a recurring feeling from my younger days. Until this morning, I hadn't had it in a while, but that's probably due to not having that greater dreams recently. Basically I have a great dream that is thrilling, captivating, emotionally fulfilling and generally just awesome. I wake up, realise it wasn't actually real and that everything is exactly the same as it was before the dream. And I feel depressed because of that.

It's not like I think "OMG that sucks," causing myself to become depressed, I actually wake up like that. Has anybody else ever experienced this? Thank you.

When I wanted a computer, I had this dream I finally got one. My parents bought it for me. I put it in my room and unwrapped it, then took it out and placed it on my floor. I was so thrilled with it. I pressed the on button and right at that moment I woke up. I was so disappointed. But I got over it. :P

Like when I saw avatar i was like "wow life sucks.."

I got over it. :p

I won $100 Billion dollars on some quiz show after wandering onto it in a dream a few years ago. I was thinking how great it was to be set for life, and all the things that I would buy then - I WAKE UP.

You say that you feel depressed on waking up from a great dream. I used to be like that but now I just appreciate how awesome the good ones are and it usually makes the coming day much better.

(...Unless I'm with the person of my "dreams". :embarrassed:)

I've had these types of dreams before. I was at this concert and met this girl... I got to know this girl, he interests, her music interests, eve her name. And her friends name, Aniya and Anet. There is alot more to it, but I don't feel like typing it. But yeah, when you wake up and realize your still the same old single guy u were the day before, it can be somewhat heartwrenching

I had a dream like this last night, but flipped. I don't remember much, just that I had a conversation with the guy I have a crush on. It took me a little bit to remember the dream, so when I did my reaction was just, "too bad that wasn't real." Then I got over it. ;)

I felt good after waking up from my dream this morning. :P

it's a mix of feelings for me. I had a dream life for a night that was just so perfect on every level, it was fullfilling and enthralling, I was so happy to be having the perfect life. Unfortunately I woke up. Also though, you have to appreciate the feeling that is in my signature's quote.

I feel that all the time when I have an epic dream. I always feel depressed, and I try to re-enact, and even extend my dream in my imagination throughout the day.

Heh. Same here.

Yes, but I also breathe a tremendous sigh of relief when I wake up from a dream where I wind up in prison or something. :P

Oh crap yeah. When you have a long, suffering, painful or devastating dream then you wake up in your bed. That is the best ever.

Occasionally, yes.

I have not had such an awesome dream so far. The only dream that had a really big impact on me was the dream in which I committed suicide by drinking a bottle of poison. I woke up regretting my foolish act, and continued regretting it for a long time. The best dream I had was a lovely beach full of beautiful children laughing and playing about.

I had an awesome awesome dream last night. I was slightly dissapointed that it was all distorted and I was really small and couldn't get hard with a hot chick from school I know in front of me.

But I was very happy that I had an awesome lucid. (It wasn't all about sex, that was just impulse at the very end)

:banana: Hahaha same here. I was like.. fuck Earth. I want to goto Pandora! :bowdown:

I have that feeling sometimes, when you wake up and realise it was all a dream. It's a dissapointment that seems to last all day but dissapears the next. Generally I keep replaying the dream in my head and it makes me feel better. I dreampt of becoming one of the natives of pandora and it felt so good in the dream. Like living at harmony with the place you live and being at the peak of mental and physical fitness. And I've not even seen avatar yet! Suppose the idea of it speaks to me though.

Go see it!!! I cannot urge this enough. :boogie:

I hate this feeling. It normally only lasts a few seconds for me, before I remind myself I can return to the dream whenever I want.

Yes, I have. It kind of hurts a little times in the day when you're just like "wow that didn't happen"..

I dreamed I was flying and I was a dragon, and I woke up, and I was soo depressed for the rest of the day cuse I couldn't fly and do so many cool things.

Yeah, I've had dreams like that, where I could fly, or I was making out with a hot chick, and I wake up, and I get sad, but then I shake it off. Also, when I have a terrible dream, like some killer is chasing me, or I have a huge project due on that same day, and I get a terrible grade on it, after those kidns of dreams, I feel awesome, lol.

I find bad dreams put me in a worse mood, cause I remember it as it were real.

Then again, never had a bad lucid!

Good dreams always cheer me up for the rest of the day.

But bad dreams make me sad or nervous all day long also.... i don't necessarily hate them, but the dream keeps me all day like "What was that suposed to mean?". Now with good dreams, wait bother about that? ;)

Too many times. I managed to reenter one where I was being chased up this beautiful cloud tower by an evil face to find the Torch of Illumination... it was an awesome adventure.

But after reading the Harry Potter books, I had a dream that I got a flying broomstick. I was so overjoyed that it was for real (it seemed so realistic) and I couldn't wait to get on it. I was ecstatic. But then I woke up. It was a horrible feeling that it was all just a dream.
