I once had a dream where my university developed a simulated world that people in the real world could go and visit, and in that world I met a really good friend who had a weak heart and wasn’t going to live much longer (or something like that, I don’t quite remember what it is, and I am not lonely, I have plenty of friends irl). We weren’t supposed to tell the people in the simulation about the truth of their world, but I told her anyway because she didn’t have much longer to live. We really wanted to go to the outside world together, but we figured that wasn’t possible. Nevertheless, when we got to the log-out area, she somehow came to the real world with us. There was so little emphasis on that part, it was brushed right off like it was nothing important. Anyways, after that the details get fuzzy, but we did a bunch of things, and because of the interaction between the simulated world and the real one, reality started changing in weird ways. All I remember from the end of the dream is that I lost her somehow, and before the story ended, I woke up. The dream was so real I still feel sad that the people I knew in the dream are gone.
