Does anyone ever establish deep relationships with people in a dream and then becomes devastated when they realize it was all fake?

Today was the second time i kind of fell in love in a dream. The dream lasted a ton of days and basically it was my (almost) ordinary life, but i became friends with a guy and spent most of my free time hanging out with him. The dream ended after we spent all night talking at his house and suddenly it was 8 am and i was incredibly late to class. It was incredibly depressing to wake up and have to accept that he never existed.

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

As the title suggests, I just woke up after experiencing this and feel very weird.

In my dream I was in a mall type of thing at night and this stunning japanese woman bumped into me asking if I had the time. I said yes and continued walking around this mall. A little later I found a huge set of stairs and slid all the way to the bottom on the railings.

At the bottom of the stairs, the girl from earlier was there and timidly asked me if I wanted to grab some food with her. I said yes immediately.

I then remember spending some time talking to her about random stuff, but finding her more and more interesting and attractive. Her friends were cool and played in a weird funk-metal kind of band and asked if I wanted to be involved.

After talking she asked if I wouldn’t mind walking her up to apartment as it was super late. I of course obliged and went with her. After arriving she invited me in and I remember her place being absolutely huge and overlooking whatever city this dream was supposed to be in.

We talked some more about what her future plans were and how similar our goals were. It got to the point where we were close and kissing and eventually slept together. I just remember there being this weird warmth in my chest whilst this happening, and it felt like nothing I had experienced before.

After waking up from this, I feel almost hollow and honestly kind of depressed. I can still remember how she smelt and how I felt when she looked me in the eyes.

The fucked up part of this is that I’ve been dating someone for the past 6 months or so, and after this dream, dare I say that I feel less close to her?

Has anyone else experienced something like this? What does it mean? Is it my mind telling the girl I’m with isn’t the right one for me? I’m so confused.

Dying in dream but not waking up from it

I hear a lot that you can’t die in a dream without waking up but for me that’s simply not true. It happened multiple times that I died and continued dreaming. For example once I died and cam back as a ghost and tried to warn my friends about a threat but they couldn’t see or hear me. I had a dream where I was sick and was waiting to die on a hospital bed and I was between living and could see the afterlife. Or what happens most of the time, I’m able to “respawn” like in a video game and just reappear elsewhere in the dream or do a part over. Does anyone else experience this?

I had a weird sex dream

In this sex dream, an alien entered my room (IDK how) it had these weird fingers or something on its face, it latched onto my face then it transferred some sort of liquid that transformed me to be fit for mating. It felt like I was transforming, my dick grew(balls too!) but I was sort conscious during the whole thing and I made the move and started the devil's tango

it was the second-best sex dream I had

Today I had a dream where i was fingering a polar bear. And im kinda confused.

So i dont remember the whole dream. I just remember the part where a life-size polar bear enters my grandmas bedroom(for some reason me and a friend where there) and its kinda pissed off, about to eat me. I start panicking and upsetting the bear even more. Then my friend calmly tells me to ,, just finger it". The the bear lied down assuming the position of the missionarie bottom. So i just started fingering the bear, and it god damn tight, like i can hardly put my finger in. after a few minutes i start backing away and and the bear starts getting aggressive. The fear makes me start the action again. Then i just woke up.
