Thread: 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.

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". )

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.

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

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.

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)

Yeah ... Especialy those emoctional ones. Come to think of it, I think that I'm begining to like nightmares because they are thriling =P

I have that all the time - even without lucid dreaming. (Which I've gotten into for a bit. )

I'd say it's just cause we know it's not real, and we wish it were. But it isn't. And that sucks.

But me no expert. Tee hee!

I once had a very vived dream and I was sad for about three days after, which is weird becuase I've never been depressed or stressed or sad before
It was a strange feeling.

i had this sooo many times. i just woke up and i'm so dissapointed. i'm in a boarding school wich is new and they are still building chambers for more people because we are just with eleven right now. so i dreamed about new people in the boarding school. and one of them was a boy. he had black hair wich was messed up a bit. he had sweet eyes and his smile was so... i fell in love. i'm a very shy person but i always tried to sit next to him at breakfast and diner and he always smiled if i looked at him. we talked and made fun. sometimes he made a little joke. he had a lot of energy and was always ready for everything. then i walked to him at a school party and i woke up. i was really dissapointed. there was no kiss or romance but i only wanted to spend time with him. he was just so perfect for me. and i dreamed other dreams too like a new computer or i found something i lost back. sorry i talked so much I just remember so much of it right now.

Had a dream the other night where I forgot to wrap my junk and had sex with a promiscuous girl. Was going nuts wondering if I had an STD and a baby coming.

Woke up so relieved.

I have this too sometimes. And the opposite effect, when I wake up from a horrible nightmare (usually when my family or friends like die) and i'm like. Phew it was only a dream and I am happy.

I remeber this one dream I had I was going out with this girl I really like but I was to afraid to tell her how I feel in reallife so when I woke up I was extremley depressed, but a strange coinsidense happen a week after the dream a friend of mine over heard the girl talking to her friends saying that she thought I was cute I had never been happier in my life.
