What a dream!
Have you ever had a dream that you woke up from and thought that it was real? Or better yet, have you ever had a dream that was so real that you wanted it to be real?
For instance, maybe you had a dream that you aced a tough exam, or that the one you love has come back to you, or someone finally admitted they were wrong all long (ha, like that will EVER happen), or that you won the big game. Well, my dream last night was so vivid, so graphic, and so life-like that I woke up from it astounded. I was at a total loss for words. And due to recent happenings, it was very feasible. As a matter of fact, it was so vivid that I still remember much of it now--over 12 hours later. And although it is someone who I have known for over a year now, I just could not help but shake my head and ask, "Wow, is this real?"
Too bad it was not real. And after I got over the initial shock over how vivid it was, my mind began to wonder. Why did I have such a dream? Why now?
I began to piece things together and viola, it started making sense...
Some say that dreams are a manifestation of the unconscious part of our psyche called the id. (Woot, *shameless Psychology plug* I actually learned something from that year of AP Psych!) Would that make sense? In some cases, yes. In other cases, no. Yet others say that dreams are oftentimes born from the thoughts and feelings that are weighing heavily on our minds. Example: Have you ever been stressed out over a test and then had a dream about it that night? *Raises hand* Or had trouble with your mate and then dreamt about it? Again, *raises hand*
Whatever the case, it was a dream that I will probably not soon forget. It is amazing at what our brains can conjure up while we are at its mercy as we sleep.

Interesting. Dreams occur while you sleep and have amazing powers. I envy that you were able to have such a vivid dream. Yes, the events that happen in the realm of dreams are determined unconsciously. However, I'm sure you already knew, events in your dream can be altered to your personal desires. This would happen during a LUCID dream, which could possibly best describe your dream. You were probably controlling your dream while in lucidity, of course I'm sure you'd realize that. It could also be because this might have been what you were thinking all night. For example, trying hard to Wallrun, I watched Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for numerous nights before sleeping. Eventually, I've watched it so much that I actually wallran in my dreams! Anywho, hold on to your red Ideya (if you understand that)
