A recent greentext post about an imaginary wife made me think of this.

Have you ever had a dream, where you fell in love with a dream character?

I've had at least a couple over the years that I can vaguely remember. The dreams were so vivid, and the feeling of love for this imaginary person was so strong, that I woke up feeling rather heartbroken and a sense of longing.

Anyone else?

Yeah, oddly enough, that Rick & Morty ep hit home. Of all the things, that one hooked me. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I've never watched that show, could you please elaborate or give me the episode number so I can look up the synopsis?

Sorry, the one that play a video game that's an entire life of some other random schmuck. I'm not sure if the episode number or season, but there was another where they revisited the idea, IIRC.

“Roy”?

That's the arcade one. The other one is probably season 4, episode 8, "The Vat of Acid Episode". Morty gets a real-life saving device that allows him to go back to any previous moment in time where he has defined a save. He then falls in love with a girl and lives a long time happily with her, and forgets about the saving device. Eventually, he accidentally goes back to the save point he had made and realized he has lost the relationship with the girl and is again a complete stranger to her. That one hits hard.
