For something a bit more lighthearted, I sometimes dream of being a good friend or a lover of some really random people in my life.
For example, I once dreamt of an old classmate of mine. It was very confusing to me, because we were deeply in love and in a relationship, but in real life I never really liked her at all - in fact, I thought she was quite insufferable. In the dream, it somehow all made sense. All the sides of her that I remember not liking, I loved. Yes, it was a she, and I don't really work that way, but in the dream I did.
When I woke up, I still felt warm feelings for her as if they had been real. They subsided after a while, but it somehow was eye-opening for me. It made me look at things from a new angle - perhaps some of the people we don't like we just don't quite understand, and that disables them from winning us over. I don't know.
Has anyone else ever experienced that? Dreams of loving someone, and just as you wake up, you still feel something for them for a while?
