I had a very strange dream last night (not unusual for me lol) where I had different 'layers' of dreams within the dream (kinda like Inception). Within one of these 'layers' I was lucid dreaming- I was aware that I was 'dreaming' and woke myself up when I wanted to, but rather than really waking up I just went back to the 'original'/first dream, in which I didn't realize I was really dreaming. Is there a name for this? Does it mean anything? Is it normal lol I woke up so confused.

Weird question I've been pondering for years. My mother is in general very nice and just wants me to be happy, safe, and healthy. But in all other ways she hates pretty much everything about me and tries to change me to fit her 'idea' of what a 'good daughter' is. The clothes I wear, the friends I have, the music I listen to, my hobbies and interests, my career pursuits, my sexuality, even begged me to get protein treatment to make my curly hair straight even after I said no multiple times. Also REFUSES to support the life I want to live and instead insists that I get a husband at least 5 years older than me, settle down, and have kids despite me telling her that would make me miserable. And much much more- pretty much EVERYTHING about me.

I'm not asking if this is 'okay' cause I know it isn't. But is someone capable of truly 'loving' another if they don't really like anything about them and constantly try to change them? Or just like the 'concept' of them? (for example, you have a partner but don't really like anything they do, like, etc and try to change them to match your idea of a 'good partner', do you love that partner or do you just like the idea of having a partner?)
