"How do you actually know you're real?"

[Edwardo Piet]

In my experience it's really like this: Wake up from a so-called "bad" dream= Ultimately start off my entire day with a feeling of pleasant relief. Whereas: Wake up from a so-called "good" dream= Ultimately start off my entire day with a feeling of unpleasant disappointment.

The problem is that I rarely remember my dreams and when I do they are usually the so-called "bad" kind that I wake up to feeling relief to start my day with and, since people dream every night whether they remember them or not, this does make me wonder that the majority of the time, which is when I don't remember my dreams, I may very well have had positive dreams which would perhaps...perhaps... - explain why I am frequently so demotivated and lethargic when I wake up: Maybe I am so disappointed that real life isn't as good as my dream that I feel contempt for my dream and block the entire dream out from my memory? Maybe that's where all my so-called "good" dreams are that make me wake up feeling disappointed.

Now, this post, I reckon, is probably "overthinking". However, it's still an idea and it's still something to think about. "Food for thought", or whatever. Hopefully not totally useless.

Also, if it is totally useless, let's just call it "art".

Furthermore, I'd personally choose "overthinking" over "underthinking" at least most of the time. Hopefully I am getting the balance right though
