have you ever had a dream that, when you woke up from it, you genuinely couldn’t tell if it was real or not?
last night, i had a dream that my grandad had passed away. he didn’t pass in the dream, but i was grieving him. and then i woke up and genuinely had to sit there in my bed for like a solid 10 minutes and try to remember if he’d actually passed away. it doesn’t help that he’s had quite a few health scares recently, too. some nasty falls, etc. he’s alive still and, after several minutes, i realised that he didn’t actually pass & it was just my dream making stuff up. but oh god did that grief feel so real and confusing. what a horrible time that was lol
