In Your Dreams

Someone once said, ~Love is the most beautiful of dreams, and the worst of nightmares.~ Without a doubt, when it comes to love or true love for that matter you can most definitely become effected in such a way you truly suffer, especially when it involves nights of slumber. I think many would agree love/true and suffering are synonymous with each other as a person can experience a sort of painful contentment within their heart inevitably manifesting itself when you close your eyes at night. For its a type of suffering that is both positive and negative as you have someone in your life who has given you continuous dreams of absoluyte true happiness leaving a smile always on your face, but at the same time leaves you frowning as you go through times of sleepless nights.

Let me ask you this question to those in a significant relationship, what aspect of love/true love cause you to suffer to the point where you find yourself having both sweet dreama and the worst of nightmares? If you said dealing with the issue of distance you're correct and its a frustrating situation indeed for any person to have someone you loves/deeply care about miles away or overseas. We all know someone or quite possibly are that someone who is going through separation anxiety as there is a long distance relationship happening and the effects of being away from each other for a certain amount of time causes a lack of sleep leading you to toss, as well as turn dreaming that he/she is with you right by your side, which can be clearly seen by the haggard look on your face.

If you think about it, matters of the heart in regards to being in a significant relationship is both a blessing and a curse. Why? Essentially, the qualities of love you've been dreaming of has been found in someone special who is no longer a mere fanatasy dreamt up while asleep, but is actually real as you can feel, touch, talk to him/her. Thinking about it, the reality of having love/true love in your life can surely be a tortuous experience for couples who aren't able to be together because of such infortunate situations as the man/woman working out of state, in the military fighting overseas, or whatever the case may be. Its a sad state of affairs when the person you so want tp be at your side when you need him/her the most leaving you to settle with just hearing his/her voice to give you temporarily relief.

For the question can be asked to those who are living the single life such as myself, when you dream of love/true love do you see or are you able to see his/her face? We've all at some point had dreams where each one of us are chasing someone who is seemingly out of reach and if/when we do finally reach him/her we end up turning him/her around you either can't see his/her face or wake up immediately just as you're about to. For some, most or all single people its a recurring dream that at first causes you to happily look forward in seeing the face of the person who haunts your dreams, but as time goes on it becomes a nightmare causing you to not only have many sleepless nights, but also experience the loss of one's own sanity as well.

In retrospect, the dreams of a experiencing love/true has come to fruition for many people and yet they too are silently suffering as well. Oftentimes, the dreams of a better tomorrow are a catch 22 because what you've been dreaming of is a far cry from the reality of a long list of broken relationships. However, the reality of having your forever best friend sticking by your side and going through every high, as well as low with this particular person is so much better than the dream don't you think? In the end, I say to those who are silently suffering in their sleep be rest assured that its in your dreams that love/true will one day replace those real unwanted nightmares.
