So this morning I had a very vivid dream.

I dreamed that I'd stocked my Etsy shop with even more stuff, then gone to bed... and I woke up to a Paypal balance of $180,000. I couldn't believe it at first, but then I checked the account and, yep, all the money was there.

And I got so excited. I was literally screaming with joy and telling everyone what had happened. I thought about how I could get a house for mom, and a house for myself, and I could visit my boyfriend in Florida, and so on and so on and so on...

Then, of course, I had to wake up.

I've been tasting the bitterness ever since :(

Anyone else ever have dreams like that?

- Ouch. That really stings.

Yep, I've had dreams like that too. When I was very lonely, I would have friends and someone who actually loved me in dreams. I would go on adventures and actually do something fulfilling.

But, then I would wake up and realize that my life is not like that. Then, I would feel empty.

I'm a doll collector, and sometimes I have dreams in which I buy some really hard to get ones in a thrift shop or a flea market for a song, and after seeing them all sitting on my shelves I have to wake up and the shelves are just full of nothing. It hurts every time.

Those are really annoying. I do get them sometimes, always something I really wanted to happen/have happened but is not possible at all/did not turn out that way. I can't say it's all too hurtful, yet it is sure upsetting, kind of like rubbing in your face how nice things could've been if they had worked out. Damn it brain, why do you must undermine me, that's self-sabotage! >:I

I'm sorry to hear all these stories :c

Ugh, I hate that. Especially since I already fight with depression every day and when I have a dream like that I can just pretty much write that day off for doing anything useful. I had one where I was out on campaign with Sea Shepherd and everything was going wonderfully and we had stopped whaling everywhere and it was a big party and then BAM I wake up, I'm not on campaign, and whaling is still going on.

When I was a kid I dreamed that I had so much candy that I could swim in it. I was so disappointed when I woke up. D;

As someone who is also a collector, I've had dreams where rarities have slipped through my fingers as well =c I've also had dreams where I've owned a horse, and waking up was unbearably painful.
