Dreams and Time

Tweet

I had a ton of dreams last night and at one point I said to myself in the dream world that "I wonder how many years have passed by here?" This was because the number of dreams was so many that it felt like time in the real world had moved beyond just the night and that I had really been dreaming for a long time. While I doubt that years had gone by in the dreams, it still was a lot. I think that the different realities wore heavily on me. There was the war dream where I was suffering from a malfunctioning rifle and limited shells, only managing to shoot one person before having to go undercover to repair my weapon. There was the superhero dream where the main character (not me) was working with Batman and they were trying to counter a world threat. There was a random every day dream where I was just trying to accomplish real world tasks. And others that I can't recall at the moment. Do you ever feel that a long time has passed in your world of dreams?
