I Have Realistic Dreams

My realistic dreams often last 3-6 months in the dream, some disturbing and/or adventurous. They're realistic enough to make me feel like I'm living another life as a different person every time. Sometimes, I'd go to places I've never been to before and see creatures I've never seen before, not even in the movies. I often fight for my life. I'd meet people I treasure so much in the dream as I experience exciting adventures with them, sometimes grieving when they die. I've lived as a soldier, a carpenter's wife, a survivor in a zombie apocalypse, a lost traveler, a rescuer, a woman engaged to a stranger. I've risked my life for people and they've risked their lives for me. I'd miss them when I wake up...and treasure the memories, as if they were real.
