Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
When I was an active abuser of the drug alcohol and other drugs, would have yucky nonsensical monster dreams. Sometime I could even control some of the scenario of the dream seconds before the dreams started. Now, many years after the absence of drugs such as alcohol, etc. I have dream of 'life' that are so real. I was raised in Ferndale, Mi. a Suburb right north of Detroit. My Dream tonight was that I was on a city bus (green color) that was taking me to the boundary of Ferndale so I thought. The bus driver (she) turn off onto 7 mile rd. I asked if this all the further north she went and she said yes and I could catch the Woodward bus coming. As I reached for transfer ticket change, she said the college bus did not need transfer tickets. As I got off the bus she started to circle, I sat on the stairs exiting the bus, there was confusion to where she wanted me to get off. When I finally did get off, I wasn't sure which was north and which was south as being I needed to go north to Ferndale. I raced across Woodward Ave. Flagging down the coming Metro County bus (orange red color). The bus driver a (large black woman) saw me but went ahead a drove up to the bus sign, my medical condition making it almost impossible to get to the bus far away in time, I slumped down to the pavement in hopes of getting some sympathy. Others were getting on the bus. I got up and staggered to the bus. I admonished the bus driver. I told her that God saves places in hell for people like her. She said that me being rude, she could ask me to show my Medicare Card. I told her too late, I am on the bus. She no, that she could still ask for it. I said 'no', I already showed it to her (lying). See now I am being rude. She went back talking to the other riders. In the back of my dreams' mind, I knew that I did not live in Ferndale for a very long time so why was I going out there, but it never interrupted the dream. Ferndale was a more fashionable city than Detroit even back then.
When I have these types of dreams, I have to get up and stay up for a while until the feelings subside before going back to bed. Jeez! Thanks for reading all of this. I not very sure to why I shared this with all of you.

hi there, I have dreams a LOT! and I remember most of them and they can be very lifelike. One thing that I make sure I can do is to turn on a light, because that snaps you out of the dream. I find if I don't snap myself out of it by either turning on a light or snapping a rubber band then I'll stay in the feeling of the dream for a long time and most likely slip back into it if I go back to sleep. I go through periods of having nightmares, unfortunately going through one now, makes you scared to go to bed. Anyway, sidetracking, just wanted to let you know my technique for snapping out of them :) x

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
