Dream / Reality?

I have literally been asking myself several times since a was a little girl daily if something was real or did I dream it ?..It is no walk in the park because it’s allowed bad things to happen in my life because I don’t always have a tight grip on reality. Also you have to be careful about who you let know that you have trouble staying present with knowing facts because people can be cruel in so many ways .

  1. I've struggled with dreams seeming real, too. I have had several recurring dreams over many many years about death, abuse, and loneliness that made me think they were reflecting real events, past or future. Deja vu is something I experience frequently, too.

    My childhood was terrifying and I thought some of the real things that happened were dreams. My mom admitted later some really did happen and were not dreams at all. I never got a chance to discuss all of it with her before she died. So, I don't honestly know which were dreams and which really happened.


    I still have horrible dreams and some nights they keep coming back every time I fall back asleep. So, I'll try to stay awake.

  2. Hi . It can be a struggle, for sure. Do you have a good support system? Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
