Last night I had a really vividly realistic dream and woke up this morning GUTTED...

[LittlePrecious]

I have very vividly realistic dreams about everyday life stuff. So I regularly wake up befuddled about whether things have actually happened or not 😂

Mostly its just a bit annoying. But sometimes it's really horrible. Today's one of those horrible days.

But last night I had a really vividly realistic dream that someone (Paul) from the Premium Bonds called me to let me know I'd won £1m. I dreamed that I talked with Paul at length, he put me in touch with a financial advisor, and I started to make some plans for how to handle things before talking to DH.

I woke up this morning with a lovely sense of calmness because my brain still believed I had £1m whisking its way to me.
Then it slowly dawned on me that it wasn't the case.
And I genuinely cried a little bit.

Now I can't shake this horrible gutted feeling.
Not sure why I'm sharing this, just feeling a bit odd this morning.

Oh no 🤦‍♀️ I feel you op, it is unsettling waking up after vivid dreams, and I too have lost lottery wins in the blink of an eye. Luckily I don't dream like this too often. The last one I had still gives me the heebie jeebies though. I was driving down a tight country lane, kids in the back, and met an oncoming car. Did some realistic maneuvering into the layby to allow it to pass. As I went to drive off, I mistakenly let the car roll back ever so slightly, which led to me skidding down a bank, then free fall backwards over the edge of a ravine.... The adrenaline was real. It has been weeks and my BP still jumps when I remember it 😩

Out of curiosity, do you actually have any premium bonds?!

I completely understand this. I take medication for a heart problem that has the side effect of very very vivid dreams & they can be intensely emotional sometimes & actually take me a while to get over sometimes. On the other hand sometimes I wake up having had a really lovely dream & it can carry me through the day

@StretchyWaistbandsOnly Oh that sounds awful. I still get shivers when I remember a really vivid dream from 2009 involving my dog getting savaged by next door's staffy.

The other week, I woke up with a really sore throat and sore stomach, because I dreamed I'd been taking the bin out and been sick from the awful smell. I think I was heaving in my sleep 🤔

And, yes, I do have PBs. So maybe last night's dream was me manifesting my big win - just waiting on the phone call now!
