I am unsure whether dreaming (or Dreaming, as some people call it here) of someone I have met before is more or less unsettling than Dreaming of someone I haven't.

And so I turn the question to you, Network. What are your thoughts on the matter?

	I guess it all depends on what you're dreaming. Or Dreaming. Personally, I find it stranger to dream about someone and then meeting them after the fact. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I think that would, indeed, be unsettling. A strange sense of the familiar. Like deja vu, but not quite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Exactly that. It's odd, in any case. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The French likely have a word for it. Or perhaps the Germans. They tend to have a word for everything. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Depends. Did they try to kill you in the Dream? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No, neither of them did. For which I am thankful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's good. Personally, I find it more unsettling when you realize that the person that you've heard so much about, or even met, is someone else entirely in the Dreams. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have, perhaps thankfully, not had that experience. The person I know here is nearly exactly as he is in my dreams. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, that's easier to deal with. Although sometimes that can create confusion too.

Like...my boyfriend here is a guy I dreamed about, but he's not my boyfriend in the Dreams, even though we're pretty close to being the same people there are we are here. Details have changed obviously, but I feel like we're the same people mostly in terms of personality, and I know that the Other!me would've totally boned him if the opportunity had ever come up, but it never did, so. I sometimes wonder if I only like him because of that? Like am I living out Other!me's fantasy? Or is it my fantasy too?

Possibly I think about this too much.

	Having been through both scenarios, I suppose it depends on the dynamics at play. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The dynamics are vastly different, from what I have seen. The one I've met is very similar to his Dream persona, and so I have to wonder if this applies to the other. (Reply to this) (Parent)
