When was the last time a dream made you feel genuinely happy, and what was it about? (lemm.ee)

About 3 years ago I dreamt that I was in a downtown Chicago office interviewing for a fancy new job. For whatever reason my mom came along for the interview and was patiently waiting for me in the office lobby. About half way through the interview it began to dawn on me that my mom passed away over a decade ago. This realization effectively transformed my dream into a lucid one. I quickly ditched the interview, grabbed my mom, and we spent the rest of the day enjoying downtown Chicago. I took her out for tea, caught her up on my life, and we made the absolute most of the little time we had together.

The memories from this dream are as vivid as the memories from my real life and I treasure them dearly.

I had a dream where my partner died. When I woke up I have never been more relieved that it was just a dream. It's made me the happiest and most appreciative I've been in a long time.

Had a similar experience? My current partner are high school sweethearts, and we started taking after I was rejected by my first crush. In the dream my first crush was flirting a lot with me and I started to panic because "oh god I dont wanna leave my boyfriend I love him!" And eventually told them to sod off.

Woke up with the biggest feeling of relief in my life.
