Have you ever fallen in love in a dream? (lemmy.sdf.org)

A recent greentext post about an imaginary wife made me think of this.

Have you ever had a dream, where you fell in love with a dream character?

I've had at least a couple over the years that I can vaguely remember. The dreams were so vivid, and the feeling of love for this imaginary person was so strong, that I woke up feeling rather heartbroken and a sense of longing.

Anyone else?

You saw that lamp, didn't you?

I'm so curious now, could someone enlighten me?

It's a reference to an old Reddit post where somebody had the same situation I did where they met someone yand fell in love and had long and happy life until they started noticing a lamp in their living room that sidn't look right. Drove them crazy in this dream and eventually forced them to wake up. I'm on mobile and can't find original post ATM but that's the jist.

Thank you! That was enough for me to find it I think.

I can definitely relate to this just not as deep of a semi-lucid dream

Reddit was awesome back in the day. So many interesting slices of life.

Correct. The good years. Now it's just normies en enshittified.

I remember that post. Always made me wonder if that really happened or if it was just good story telling.
