Somebody tell me.
Why it feels more real when I dream than when I am awake.
How can I know if my senses are lying?

Who are you?
Am I alone?

I thought i saw you riding a bike on wednesday though campus... but you passed by too quickly!

Dreams for me a much more real, and carry me through a wider range of emotions than daily life does. That's because my life is so damn boring. Yet stressful. The only way to cope with real life is to numb out the stress with apathy.

that is true!
dreams are really capable of making you feel emotionally unstable, and make you wake up in shock, sweating... or if pleasant, one of those that you won't stop thinking about for a while.
have you guyz ever felt yourself changing your opinion on someone or something just because of a dream?
I wonder if its just your subconcious expressing things in your mind... or if it's some sort of warning or enlightment

i don't know how you dream Clem, but when i dream i am more emotionally stable. i've never changed my opinion about a person because of a dream. but i have changed my perspectives on my future from dreaming. i think dreaming is a way of understanding yourself at a subconscious level - like you said. but most of the time, i feel as though reality is but a dream, and the dream world is more of a reality.

interesting point... since subconscious deals with all your fears, or all that junk that you know is there. People really act superficially to ignore the fact that certain things are there. It might be true to say that dreams are reality, while what we live in is a dream...
I guess I meant unstable in the sense that sometimes things come in a way that it just doesn't make sense to the logic mind.
Also, the whole having people around you, that you thought you could trust just being nice or mean to you to an extreme.... that kinda stuff shakes you up when you wake up from the dream

oh yeah, there was also a period of time in my life when all i could really sense was the feeling of looking at the world through a camera, as if i were in a movie or watching a movie. sometimes as i go through the motions of life i felt like i could observe myself from a third person point of view, but it was very surreal. things just dragged as if i was in a viscous medium (and no i did not do drugs).

sometimes i wonder about your past. about your psychological well being. its an avenue of health that a lot of people take for granted. and it makes sense, because most people think psychology is really just common sense or bullshit. well, i happen to believe in it as a science. and by studying it, i have come to understand myself more. by knowing myself, i can then help myself.

i think being truly honest with yourself is the key. i think you have a lot of repressed emotions. which is not a good sign. do you consider yourself passive aggressive? maybe you should participate in some activities that'll give you the cathartic effect of releasing these emotions. i think you already do - like writing on LJ, exercising, clubbing etc.
