How many people are in very good dream, and you can't wait to see what happens next, then you wake up ...

[thorOnRoblox]

Anyone wake up from a dream, think it's real, and then get extremely disappointed?

[CheeSeCakeZ]

Me: that was the best dream ever I’ll never forget it

Also me one hour later: wait what did I dream about again

[KhaosOfficialYT]

Why do people raise their hands and immediately say, “i forgot”

[johnbear]

You ever just be real sad in a dream and wake up and feel so relieved

[bianca-rxzl]

Notification

Sometimes we just remember the feel of the dream like :
That was such a good dream wait!... Why can't I remember it!!!!

[bandit]

For some reason I thought our dreams could be what we’re doing in a parallel universe

[jamiedunne]

Does anybody have that dream where it's really amazing and you wanna start writing about but then you realize the whole dream was just really stupid and if you wrote about it you would just cringe?

Anybody get that?

[AlltimeNumbers]

[bbotch]

They said follow your dreams...




I forgot them.

One day I was playing Battlefield 3 in my room and next to me was my little sister watching my little pony friendship is magic in her tablet. My sisters tablet was so loud that I could hear each pony's conversation and what was going on in the episode and stuff...

That night...

I DREAMT ABOUT A FK BLOODY PONY WAR BETWEEN HUMANS AND PONIES!!!
THE LAST THING I REMEMBER WAS THAT APPLE JACK WAS DRIVING HER TANK AT FULL SPEED INTO MY CAMPING SITE!!!....
I died and then woke up...




I think that dream is unforgettable and deserves recognition.

[adinajewett]

I Had a dream where I knew I was dreaming so I woke up in the dream but in reality I was still sleeping. That probably makes no sense.

[cunsawn]

I dreamt I was in front of a urinal.






Now u know how I woke up in the middle of the night.

Why can’t we ever remember the time we DO fall asleep
