Recently, I have been having more and more dreams that are very clear and feel like I am living them and even see myself dreaming and waking up from the dream and living again like it’s reality when I haven’t really woke up yet. I’m experiencing pain and anger and betrayal and I can finally wake up from it and it stop but I can’t seem to get out of it when it’s at the worst time. Why could this be happening?? It’s scenarios I have never been in before. But I do recognize the people in my dreams.
You’re likely experiencing lucid dreams and false awakenings, where your mind knows it’s dreaming but traps you in a loop that feels real.
These dreams can be triggered by:
*Stress or emotional buildup (even if you’re not fully aware of it)
*Unresolved feelings (pain, anger, betrayal you’re processing subconsciously)
*Disrupted sleep or irregular sleep patterns
- Your brain using familiar faces to work through unfamiliar emotional situations
It’s why the “feelings” are real, even if the “scenes” are new.
Try calming your mind before bed and using reality checks (like looking at your hands) in dreams to help you wake up or take control.
