Is it normal to be more comfortable in your dreams than in real life?

When I wake up it seems like the saddest thing that has ever happened to anybody on this Earth and I always try to fall back asleep to escape this life. I just want to go back to my dreams even if that dream was me drowning in a truck that crashed into a body of water and no matter how far up I swim I never reach the surface and I can't breathe but I'm not dead yet... just the feeling of death looming over me but not taking me. I find even this dream preferable to real life... if you can call it that. This is not a joke, that example was from this morning. I much prefer my dreams to real life. I am not depressed in my dreams but neither am I happy... I just am. It is a hard feeling to explain but if I had the choice to be in a dream state until the day of my death I would sign up in a heartbeat. Do you have the same opinion? Do you think this is normal?

    I've been like that. For me it was because my dreams were way more interesting than real life at the time. When you wake up you have to keep moving on and sometimes you get to that point where everything is just bland. Not like I was depressed but it was just so repetitive. That's how I felt idk if it's like that for you though.

    I just had that thought this morning. It's kind of stupid really I think worse than the pain of being here is the idea that I'm about to sleep away my life. Dreams are great and all but the real world is still spinning and there's many things to be missed. I hope you work things out.
