Hey,

Lately, I've observed that most of my dreams are my current life reality but reversed. A few examples:

- My healthy supportive relationship is always full of conflicts in the dream world
- My egoistic rich uncle that left me homeless for years is altruistic, loving, and nice in the dream world
- My beautiful mother has a disfigured face in the dream world
- My current feelings of desiring to be a loving mom, whilst in the dream world I kill children unintentionally (see "Accidentally killed a child")
- My current place where I live in is the best, most peaceful, and nice ever from my life, in the dream world I keep on being haunted (things moving around the house, missing things, scary events)

The list can go on and on.

Does it happen to you? and if so, what's your opinion?

I tried to research online about reverse reality, and I found this opinion that I want to share with you all:

~"I have a theory called Reverse Reality: real life and the dream state are actually reversed.

Conscious reality is when you're dreaming/sleeping, while your waking state is actually the construct of the subconscious. Therefore, what we think is real life is similar to a Matrix-type scenario, in which we're trapped in the fabricated reality, which we perceive to be "real life." When we're "sleeping" we're accessing what you would consider the dream world, which according to my reverse theory, is the actual "reality." Our dream state is part of a collective subconscious that everyone in the universe is connected to -- consciously.

To further the insanity of the Reverse Reality Theory, someone like myself with insomnia is imprisoned to live in the waking world for 20+ hours a day, even more.

Sounds like a Philip K. Dick short story -- reverse reality when troublemakers are sentenced to 23 hours a day imprisonment of a "waking state" which means that the only respite is an hour of slumber where you get to leap back into the collective subconscious, before you're zapped back into the horrors of living in the waking reality -- false gods, jackhammers, Snooki, famine, corruption, and the other horrors of the world.

A thought to ponder."

Neverthless, me going back to reviving "my dreams" thread

I've heard the notion that "whatever you dreamt about, it is the exact opposite!" as a saying meant to calm those of us having nightmares or bad dreams.
I personally think that since life is not black and white, we sometimes get to have through our dreams the other side of the same coin. In this world, there is no shadow without a light, and vice versa.
As for which world is the "real" world and which one is actually a dream, that is a known issue within metaphysics. The wakeful hours are dimmed to a slumber, while it is in dreams that we're so much more alive. And yet we have a high level of consistency living this reality, and only pieces and shreds from the other. Linda Goodman shared the notion that, while dreaming, we have the same relation to our life as being "awake", as the other way around. Meaning, we very faintly remember that which we're used to call 'reality'.
I'd say that practicing lucid dreaming might assist to connecting the two realities, even though I personally am not in the right place in my life to do so.
I also feel like one would require being well grounded in this reality before attempting anything of this sort. It is important to experience other dimensions of being not as an escape mechanism, but as an expression for our wish to LIVE MORE.
