Dreams, great! I was looking for a thread about dreams here lately because I have something interesting to tell you.
My mind pretty much created alternative timeline and is slowly showing it to me in the dreams. Those dreams are so real that many times when I wake up, I spent some time trying to figure out of it really happened or not. It all started with a dream about huge old underground mall just outside my old home. The thing is there was small mall just outside my old home. But it wasn't underground. The entrance to the alternative mall was at the exact same place as the real mall and exit near my current home. When I wake up, I felt so nostalgic (something that happened after each of the dreams) that I wanted to go to that alternative mall again, only to realize that it doesn't exist. Few weeks after that, I had another weird dream. This time, I was standing on the main bus station, when suddenly the whole town started to burn. I remember hearing someone that something happened to the lake that is in the town. I also remember trying to get home only to find a girl that I apparently know. I don't remember much from this one, but I have a feeling that this burning could be the reason the things are different in my next dreams.
Next few dreams could be probably put in any order, so I'll start from the 1st one. In this dream, I was walking with my dad the same path I took in the previous dream, only the other way around. We stopped by the bus station, but it wasn't bus station. It was some kind of factory. I don't remember the rest of the dream, but I remember that me and my dad talked about the events of the previous dream. Next dream I was walking path near my home. In reality, there is kindergarten. In my dream, there was some kind of school. I think it was part of some cult or something. There was also path to the forest in the back of the school (there is no forest in reality). For some reason I knew that I can't go there, because it's forbidden.
The last one I remember was about me sitting on the bench in some weird park. I don't know where it could be, but it was similar to the place from the 1st dream.
There were also instances where I've woken up and had a weird nostalgic feeling, but couldn't remember the dream.
I suspect that 1st few dreams were just a coincidence, but when I was overthinking them I created the other dreams by mistake. But to answer colours' questions... Yeah, these felt real. So real.
And to give another thing to discuss, what do you think about lucid dreams?
Sometimes, probably when I'm not fully asleep but not awake, I'm able to influence which way the dream will go or even to rewind it back and try different route. I'm not able to just explore it by myself, so I'm not sure if it really is lucid dreaming, but who knows...
