if there's a budding friendship or relationship in a dream then it often carries into wakefulness for the next day. which is nice, but if they're a dream person then I'll never see 'em again, and if it's a real person then I keep remembering that nothing actually happened <<
i don't actually have difficulty telling the difference btw (except kind of once last year, after which i became aware it could happen). it's just, more longing, i guess
... i don't know what to do today
