Oh my God! I also lived an entire life in a dream!
I was really lucky, because I lived to an old age, and then my husband died, and I was able to really come to peace with my life and have a healthy relationship with my grown children and my grandchildren before I woke up.
I guess what I did differently is I had closure, and peace. And it took a week for the reality to sink back in, and for this life to become the real one, but I always felt... that life had its chance, ended. This one needs my very different attention. I'd hate to do this one wrong because I was still living in the last one.
I'm so glad you found someone real to love. I feel like we should start a lived-a-life-in-a-dream support group. It would've been really nice to have someone who understood then, at the beginning!
