Thread: Feeling A Strange Disconnect From Dreams

mmm, I think I understand it...please be more detailed

I'm not very good at explaining but...

I think it's kind of like this: If you were standing in a desert, sweating your butt off, and then you just suddenly were in the middle of a blizzard, the memory of the heat would be right there, and you would still feel it like you were still in the desert. You didn't get any time to adjust from hot to cold, so the hot feeling is very vivid, like you still are hot. However, if it slowly started snowing while you were in the desert, and then progressively got colder, you would get used to the cold and the memory of the heat would be just that: a memory. You got time to switch from hot to cold, so now you can't feel the heat, you just remember it.

That probably made no sense. What I was trying to get at was: the desert and the heat are like the dream, and the blizzared is like being awake/waking up. If you are in a dream and you suddenly just wake up, it still feels like you're there. If the dream has time to end, however, you get time to wake up and the dream is just like a memory.

Ugh, I have a feeling I just made a fool of myself.

Actually, red, you explained it better than I could. Thanks! Now, get out of my head. Just kidding.
