Yo dreamer, talk about anything you need to talk about here. Sometimes it helps to say things without worrying about how they'll be perceived. And the only person anyone would ever try to set you up with here is FRBG or Ms. Butt Shorts.

Hang in there, Dreamer. And forget what your friends say - you'll know when you're ready.

Do you guys think dreams mean anything?

I'll try and explain quickly. I was having an amazing week. Top 5 weeks of my life. Then last night I went to be and I had these really vivid dreams about Nic. It was so real. I woke up and that's as down as I've been since she passed away. Today has just sucked. I just wanted to keep to myself and Michelle Obama just didn't get it. I finally just had to tell her what happened and I prefaced it with "I love you but I just need to be alone because...."

I'm having a terrible day and I told my gf whom used to do porn that I love her. It's unbelievable how my life has turned in a little over a year. I feel like a wreck today. Just gutted low.

I think dreams happen when you've been thinking of someone or something when you were conscious. Then in deeamworld, which you can't control, anything goes and it doesn't really mean anything. It's just synapses firing at random. So don't worry. I think all it means is you were thinking of her, which is natural.

I'm not sure that's necessarily true. I remember my dreams quite often, and remembered quite a few last night & not much of what occurred in them had anything to do about my thoughts throughout the day (of course I've had them when they were about things I thought about). There were many random people through out my past, objects which I presently have, and things I've never seen in my life.

Dreams can be interpreted however you want. Dreamer, I don't tend typically don't tend to put much heavy feeling into what I dream & definitely try not to let them effect me the next day. I guess it is dependent on what kind of message Nic was giving you in the dream...I'm assuming it wasn't good by the way you feel today. If it was something pleasant, I would think that emotion would have carried over to this morning (since you seem to carry a negative connotation over).

It wasn't that it was particularly bad it just brought back a flood of emotions. Made me re think things a lot. Opened up old wounds I guess. I'm still feeling it today. Just this sadness looming.

Cuck fancer! I hate it that a long time family friend was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has 9 mos. to live. Supposedly the reason pancreatic cancer has one of the the lowest survival rates is that it's so unlikely to be detected early. Anytime someone is diagnosed, they usually have already had it for 5-10 yrs. which is why it's so fatal. If any of your loved ones has mid to lower back pain with no prior injury or health issues, you might want to get a scan.

My mom had tested negative for it one month before she was given two months to live.

I wish I had some great advice but I don't. I'm sorry for what's going to happen. I really wouldn't wish it on anyone. It's something I still can't get over.
