text: how would you describe  this dream ? when you dream about someone and it feels so real like it was really happening ! i believe the word you want is "vivid".  you were just in a light sleep.  the more "awake" your brain is while you sleep, the more you dream.  your brain was just pretty awake that night.  this can be confirmed sometimes by a lack of sleep quality.  do you feel as rested as you normally do?
