I have always had a very vivid and intense dream life so when I have nightmares they are actually quite horrible and when I have good dreams they are the kind of good dreams that are so good they hurt way more than the bad ones.
Last night I dreamed about someone I haven't seen in about 25 years. She and I used to be friends and I really, really liked her though I never would have ever shared that with her. That she appeared and everything felt so real and colorful only added to the weirdness of it all. I haven't consciously thought of her in a long time so that added a surprise element as well.
The most bizarre aspect is that I when I got up to use the bathroom and return to bed I would fall back asleep and the dream would continue. That almost never happens. If I didn't know better, between the vividness and continuity of it all I would swear it actually happened in real life.
What stung most, though, and worse than any nightmare could hit hard...was that she hugged me and I could feel it so intently that the sensation stayed with me hours after I woke.
