I had a dream the other night that I was in love with someone that I'm not actually in love with. It was very strange, and it's still sort of haunting me.
The thing is, the dream was actually pretty pleasant. What disturbs me is that I could get that intensity of emotion out of a dream, especially a reasonably complex emotion like long-term love.
Mostly, I get things like fear, paranoia or lust out of dreams.
To clarify, mine aren't unpleasant at all. They just happen to be accompanied later by crippling guilt and constant questioning of whether I really do want to be with someone else.
And I don't [want to be with someone else], but that doesn't stop the guilt.
