Not to go too deep on the subject, however, the brain is so strong.
How can i explain to myself that whatever i experience during my dream is not real.
What i am talking about is the emotion, the warmth of being loved by someone who was just made up by my own mind, the whole story line, the whole happiness and joy i've felt during it and the emptiness that i've felt once i woke up.
Even the smallest touch felt so real ...
A feeling of missing someone that i knew for so long yet none of it was real...

šBefore I sleep I tend to imagine a future in which I meet the love of my life who just makes all the time I spent āwaitingā worth it. I fall asleep thinking on things that arenāt so out of reach still THEY ARE NOT HERE. Other times during the day I think about what has happened, all the things that have brought me to where I am. I just realized Iām never here! In the now, in the whatever is going on where Iām standing. I live in places that donāt exist with people that are not real! Yes in theory I might know them but in my head both in the memories and in my made up senarios they are not them. They are what I want them to beā¦ they are an extension of me and what I think they should be. I think the now requires me to lose the control I have in my made up worlds, and that might be too scary for me now.

šI've read that sleep allows your brain to solidify emotion-based memories, and that dreams might basically be your brain drawing loose connections between concepts that evoke similar emotions as sort of an unconscious method of processing them.
I don't feel like I have a fully developed "dream world", but I definitely feel like I revisit specific places when I'm dealing with similar situations or emotions! For example, there's a big theme park that I think I dream about more often when I'm feeling lost or out of place in a group. I might just be overanalyzing it though! There's also this one office building and this one suburban neighborhood and I feel like I have dreams about road trips and bus rides fairly often. None of those places really feel connected physically, but I also have a really bad sense of direction in real life so maybe my brain just doesn't want to deal with maps in the dream world if it doesn't have to lol
It's crazy to think that we all might have these unique worlds that follow completely different rules based on how our brains connect certain things with specific emotions!

šThe fact that i can stay in bed warm with my phone or laptop and music in the background as i watch my favourite movies/series/youtube vids with a warm tea is simple enough to make me grateful for wherever i am today.
Worrying about what I should wear to work is a beautiful thing because itās a privilege that sadly some people canāt afford :(
Complaining about to cook is a beautiful thing because someone somewhere sadly canāt even afford/have access to a simple bread piece.
Literally feeling the warmth of the sun while standing waiting for the bus is a beautiful thing to cherish and be grateful for.

If there is one style that literally calms me is stippling.
The endless dots, the slow process, the nuance effect, the final results.
I just love it and appreciate it even more when i spend hours/days to finish one.
