Man I just had the most vivid dream. I was hanging out with one of my friends who passed away when he was 19. We were walking around some apartment complex that wasn' familiar to me just shooting the shit and we'd randomly run into all these people I haven't seen since high school or shortly there after and talk to them too. During the whole thing I knew he was dead but didn't want to "bring it up." Towards the end of the dream we were chilling on some steps that lead up a hill but I don't remember seeing anything at the top of it. He gets up and is like "Well I gotta get going" and I said "Yeah, I guess I should too. It was good seeing you again Ryan" and he replied "I know it's been awhile. Being dead kind of sucks sometimes but you don't have to worry about it any time soon.... I wish I could say that for all of our friends though." and then he turned and started walking up the stairs and I woke up.
I really don't read into shit like that much but fuck that made me feel weird for the first few minutes right after I woke up.
man i have really similar dreams about my best friend, murdered in cold blood in his wheelchair 1/4/06 & it wakes me up sometimes thinking that I cant believe he is gone, but how good the feeling was to be around him again.
dreams are strange, but my brain races from the time it is time to go to sleep til shortly after i wake up in the morning. hence the reason they prescribed me ativan & xanex back in the day, that i dont take anymore.
i think our brains just hold onto the things we enjoy most, & when you sleep your brain tries to make up for all the bad shit during the 'awake hours' with happy thoughts, shitty part is, is that waking up to realize it was just a dream, is part of the shitty thoughts your brain is trying to make up for.
...if that makes any sense.
