Huh, never saw this one but in high school I had a dream just like this. I met a beautiful woman, perfect in every way, we got married had some kids, I even got some ways into middle age. Then, I was sitting in chair and noticed that my vision seemed… blurry at the edges, in a very “vignette filter” kind of way and I immediately knew I was dreaming. Woke up just as the existential collapse started. For several years after I’d try to remember her face, what our love had felt like, any of the details that had seemed so solid and tantalizing real for those few sleeping hours.
In retrospect, a lot like that Rick and Morty episode with the life simulator game. I wonder if one of the writers ever had that dream too? Brains are weird, and I haven’t any dreams nearly that all encompassing since.
I had a dream like that about an ex. Everything perfect, house, kids, the whole thing. It felt like one of those super realistic dreams too. I woke up and got a panic attack that fucked me over for 3 or 4 days when I realized it was just a dream. Human psyche is scary as fuck sometimes.
Now don’t look at the lamp next to your sofa too closely.

I was going to say it’s pretty depressing, but then I’ve remembered waking up in general in this awful world is
Alrght. I’m leaving a comment here as a reminder to come back to this thread and tell my creepy pasta story.
EDIT: i read the lamp story. it was ok i guess. mine is similar.
reddit used to be a bit better
