Re: A dream is just a dream....
What a great little thread you started, Jody. Thanks.
In answer to your question, yes, I've come out of some dreams so sad that it's taken me most of the day to shake it.
Like TB, my recollection of dreams is like water on a hotplate. It's in my mind very vividly for a few minutes after waking, but a quarter hour later it's all but gone. Kind of weird, really, that they can disappear so quickly and completely.
Edit: On a few ocassions right after waking I've tried to go over a dream in the hopes of being able to devote it to more accessible memory, but it's always been like trying to grab water.
