Good dreams are supposed to leave you feeling good when you wake up. But I find that not all dreams leave you feeling that way. Because when we wake up, we realize that it’s not real. So instead of a good morning, it feels like we woke up on the wrong side of the bed. The thoughts that are buried deep in the recesses of our subconscious, more often than not, come out whenever we dream. We try so hard to keep them out of our minds through distractions but when we dream, these thoughts somehow escape the cages where we lock them in. Dreams provide us with a reflection of the truth about ourselves, our conscience, what we desire and long for.
Sometimes we use sleep to escape ourselves, our state and to pass the time when we are going through something difficult and when we are depressed with our lives. But it’s actually dreaming that forces us to face our own realities-at least it tries to. These dreams are either the opposite of what we are going through, which make them good, or they are nightmares. I only find the good dreams, which are the opposite of what our reality is, far worse than a nightmare. These good dreams do not inflict terror, but rather, they inflict pain and sometimes unbearable sadness. In our dreams, we get what we want, but when we're awake, we don't. So how can we escape when our dreams won’t even allow us to?
A dreamless sleep can only be possible through sedatives-well, at least in my case. The seemingly countless days and nights pass by steadily. It feels like being on a raft riding the soft waves of an ocean, drifting towards nowhere. The ocean feels like an infinite body of water. It’s a nice ride but it can’t last forever.
I guess no matter what we do, we cannot escape the reality where we find ourselves in-no matter how hard we try to deny it. Our life is what it is and we are who we are. We can always find numerous distractions and make countless excuses but where does that really take us? We have really no other choice but to acknowledge and deal with it. Once we do, then our good dreams can in fact be true and leave us smiling when we wake up.

yea, dreams are supposed to be your mind acting out what it couldnt in real life.
pero looking at it this way plainly can mess up everything, kasi the mind works with symbols, not things. so the things a person dreams of may not mean what they seem first-hand... you have to explore what each object means, and then put it all together in a way that you can make sense why they were in one particular dream altogether (this is what they do in dream analysis... it's fun, believe me).
and, you only remember dreams that you dream of right before the moment you wake up. all dreams that had episodes way before waking time is forgotten.
la lang, some bits about dreams. galing no? :)

What makes it more painful or more dominant in our emotions is because we don't just have it in our subconciousness but also is our concious state. Thus our dreams when we are awake and well aware may prove to be the worst...
