I had a pretty strange experience last night during a lucid dream, and I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar or has any thoughts.
As the title suggests, I became lucid, but under an alternate personality.
To keep it brief, in the dream I was a girl hanging out with a guy, and we were having a fun adventure together. I’m a guy in real life and I don’t date, but that part alone is not too strange compared to my normal dreams.
The strange part was that I became aware the dream was getting ready to end. I felt a sense of urgency and asked him what his name was. He had a hard time telling me, but he told me where we could meet in the future.
He pointed toward a room that had an interesting sign next to it. The sign showed a girl falling from the sky with her arms outstretched toward a guy, who was holding a basket with a baby and some leaves in it.
Still in the character of this girl, I pointed toward the sign and told him, “That would be us.”
The dream began to fade, and I told him the dream was ending. I could hear him saying something for a bit, but then I woke up.
When I woke up, I felt confused about who I was for a second. I was also left with this strong longing feeling that lasted for about three hours until I fell back asleep again. I genuinely felt love toward the dream character, and I honestly don’t know when the last time I felt that before was.
