Have you ever thought of counting your dream as part of your life?

Question

I have, and was just wondering if I'm crazy for considering it.

Well, wait till I tell you more, and you might start to think I'm crazy...

I'm actually referring to counting my dreams as a way of still being able to see my deceased boyfriend (not that I ever remember dreaming about him these days), but many months ago, I used to occasionally. If I cound my dreams as part of my life, then essentially, I still get to meet him?

Answer 1

I love that concept. We want to keep those we love in our lives forever. That's why people keep photographs, locks of hair, letters; I've even heard of people keeping voice mails from the deceased. These are all ways of keeping those who have passed on "alive." So why shouldn't you unconscious or subconscious do the same. There are cultures where dreams are viewed as just as valid as our waking lives. There was a movie called Where the Green Ants Dream (I think by Herzog) that explored this. If it gives you comfort or pleasure, consider such a dream as a gift from your own mind.

Answer 2

Since the dream does occur while you're living, it would make sense to include it as a part of your life. In addition, many people are inspired by dreams they've had which seems to prove that others have made dreams a significant part of their lives.

Answer 3

No, You're definitely not crazy. By behaving as if you're working toward that dream, your dream is likely to happen. Think of the saying, "Thoughts become things. Choose the good ones."

Answer 4

No, I don't think you are crazy. I think dreams are a reflection of our lives and some people would say that dreams are also premonitions. I think we should pay attention to whatever our body and mind tells us.

Answer 5

My girlfriend did this once...she was showing me the tennis courts at her apartment complex and quickly realized there weren't any....it was only a dream she had. I brought my racket just in case.
