funny feeling
    #5706434 - 06/03/06 01:19 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

after a working my ass off at work for the man, and making jokes to make my friends laugh, and trying to help them with there problems, i'm left with a sad, funny feeling.

I get a funny feeling that life is like a dream you don't want to end, you wanna do so much in it and see what happens next, wanting to talk and interact with people, help them, never wanting to wake up.

than suddenly, you wake up, and realise it was just a dream, a hallucination, and had no effect or meaning to reality, it was meaningless, and you just forget the dream and go about the day.

I'm feel saddened and hopeless with this feeling, how should I feel with this thought in my head? any advice?

I face the same dilemma

When we die do we wake up, or is it possible to wake up inside this dream? Kind of like a lucid dream in our waking dream. This is kind of what keeps me diligent in meditation and mindfulness. I'm curious.

At the same time I have no idea if there is a point of waking up, and this consciousness is just the result of the right things coming together at the right time. Like a one time deal. Which would make a hedonistic lifestyle more appropriate.

The last time I tripped, I felt this same feeling very strongly. It seemed almost too obvious. I also felt that there must be something else greater behind all this, so I'll go with my gut instinct and continue to be curious and alert.

Sad feeling = beginning to awaken from the dream. It's always filled with sadness and nostalgia.
