Having Vivid Dreams Can Really Suck

Have you ever have those dreams/nightmares that you wake up the next morning and feel as if they were real? You can't tell if they actually happened or not? Well, you aren't alone.

Having Vivid Dreams Can Really Suck

When you wake up from sleep, you either think "what a weird dream I had" or you don't remember your dream and you start to plan for your nap in a few hours. But once thing not everyone experiences is vivid dreaming. Vivid dreaming is this weird state where you can remember your dreams, you feel as if it was real life and sometimes you wake up and you're not sure if the dream was real life or not.

Vivid dreaming can come from a variety of things such as a side effect from medication. While it sounds like in a way it might be cool, it can actually really stink. Sometimes you wake up confused as to if something really happened or not. Which depending on your dream, can really throw you off. You could dream of eating something and feel as if you actually did eat it. Or you could dream that you finished all of that homework you had but unfortunately, you didn't.

In a way, it might be cool because you can actually remember what you dreamt of. But for someone who experiences these types of dreams once in a while, boy can it throw you off. I woke up this morning for example and was convinced that whatever meal I had seen in my dreams, I actually ate. You think you had these conversations in real life but, you didn't.

There's not a way to really explain what it's like to have these dreams. It just happens here and there. While it especially can stink when you have nightmares, you just have to remind yourself when you wake up that it wasn't really and it was just a dream.

We all love sleep but sometimes we can get really thrown off. But everyday is a new day and not every day is the same. We have good days and bad days. We just have to take each day by the minute as you never know what can happen. Pray for the best outcome in each day and remember life isn't easy. We all have those moments of struggling. But we can get through it, and that's a fact.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
