This post has content warnings for: sad dreams that - fortunately - are not real, the opposite of op's thing.
yknow actually it kinda helps oddly to know that this goes both ways. maybe someday i’ll wake up from a nightmare and be like “oh, none of that was real, i’m safe and happy and a girl and surrounded by loved ones”, and then it’ll evaporate like cold sweat under a soothing fan. that’s the aim, anyway
