Reality Can Be Disappointing

Dreams are great, they provide some entertainment in your unconscious hours, they make you think, they reveal a little bit we do not know about ourselves. The worst part about them is waking up from a good dream. You will have an amazing dream, and in that dream you will be so excited and happy that something happens. Many times this happens and I wake up smiling, then reality sets in. The feeling you get in that moment when you realize, "I was only dreaming, that did not actually happen" is one of the absolute worst feelings in the world. What makes it worse is when what happens in your dream is completely possible, you just do not know how to make it happen. It teases you, because you feel like it is so close, but only happens in dreams. Dreams are a common theme in great songs... Here are two quotes:

"...Every so often we long to steal, to the land of what might have been, but that doesn't soften the ache we feel when reality sets back in..." - I'm not that girl, Idena Menzel, Wicked.

"...When you're dreaming with a broken heart, the waking up is the hardest part. You roll out of bed and down on your knees, and for a moment you can hardly breathe..." - Dreaming with a Broken Heart, John Mayer.
