Dreams better than reality

81% Normal
13 Comments

Lately, my dreams have been better than reality. I love to sleep. I don't have a job right now and I won't need one for a long time, so I sleep all day long if I could. I know it is unhealthy and has negative side effects to sleep too much, but when I am awake, I'm always tired and there is nothing to look forward to. I just moved to another state and I have no friends. I don't want to go out spending my savings since I don't work. My dreams are the best things I've got. I wonder if anyone else has gone this as well.

    hel yeah, mine are too, sometimes i sleep as a hobbie since i also have nothing better to do...
    i can hardly believe that real life is so boring and pointless, so sometimes I pretend I am dreaming my life and my dreams are the reality... and the characters in my dream told me if i am awake too long they will die without me... so i have to sleep and dream to keep them alive =]

      To Shrunk. That is great man. This is not depression. Some of us are blessed as vivid dreamers and others do not understand. All be it creepy though cause in a million years reality could never come close to comparing with my dreams. This existence is way to flawed and bleak. That's not depression, that's truth and sometimes reality bite's.

    i have depression, so sleep is a huge escape for me. i'll stay up all night so i can be alone, and sleep all day so i don't have to be around other people. sleep is a great escape, yes, but spending your life sleeping is kind of a waste in a sense.

    even when I was too busy to even think about what I was doing while I was doing it, when I had an active lifestyle, I still had a lot of dreams that I didn't want to wake up from. A lot of times my dreams would determine my mood for the next day. If I had a bad dream, i would wake up in a bad mood and it would be difficult to get out of. If I had a good dream, I would wake up in a good mood, but that was rare. Now that I am having good dreams I am taking advantage by sleeping a lot.

      Yeah, that's the main source of my problems though. I actually prefer to be alone when I smoke and I can't seem to stop.

    I have a very active life, with children and a home to care for. Going to bed is an extra treat, because not only is it the only time I can rest, in my dreams I have a very glamorous life. Sometimes I wish it were real, but I am happy as I am :)

    It sounds like you're going through depression. An active mind is a healthy mind. You need to get into something to keep yourself active. Enroll in school, pick up a hobby, get a part time job, join a club of some sort. Just get involved in something.

    This behavior is okay on occasion, but daily and you're just turning to mush. Get active.

    I think its normal but not healthy. When I go through a breakdown stage I fnd all want to do is sleep because it is a much better place than reality, and hate waking up and having to start the day because it feels pointless. I would say find yourself that job, it will give you an aim in life which you need. Also you may also make friends with your new collegues.

    Like the abouve say keep active and eventually reality should appear as good as dream world.
