    My dreams lately are so amazing. They're not extremely fantastical. They are like real life, but I do things that are way better than anything that happens in my life. I wake up and I wish that I could just sleep forever and live the life that I live in my dreams. I have lots of friends who are cool artists, or I'm friends with animals, I'm not afraid of flying, and I even went to England in one! I think that this is all from my medication that I'm taking, but I wish that my real life was as cool as my dream life. When I wake up, I'm usually so disappointed that I have to get back to my regular life, but I feel like I have great memories of things that I did in my dreams, like they actually happened in "real life".
    Maybe I'm crazy, I don't know.
    Does anyone else experience this too?

    well im no expert or anything, but the whole concept of the 'real world' vs. dreams really comes to the question, how do we know that what we know is real? Yes, often times my dreams are much better than life.. and who really is to say which one is reality? no one. Right now as im typing this I could be actually in a dream world, we cant really proove any of that.. so enjoy both lives! since we all have the real one, and the dream one.. (whatever ones they are!)

    you should read some of Degas. He talks all about how we can't tell dreams from reality, i think you might like it.:)
