I had an odd dream last night that has been lingering with me all day. Most of it has faded, but the feeling it left me with remains...
Oddly, the dream involved werewolves, but they were ancillary to the entire experience. In the dream, I was turned into a werewolf (I can't remember the specifics behind it), and ran with the pack when I wasn't doing my normal life thing. I fell in love with a girl in the pack (odd, considering my normal day to day feelings regarding "love").
Things were well and happy, then one night while I was out and about, wolfing it up, a hunter started chasing me, and I panicked. I howled, and the girl, who had been a werewolf longer than I, came to help. She jumped in front of the bullet meant for me and died.
And that was the bulk of it.
When I woke up, I actually hurt from her loss. I felt empty and alone, as though I had just lived through everything that had just been a dream; as if that was my life. Over fourteen hours later, I still feel sad that I can't see or talk to her again. There was a real emotional attachment with this character from my dream.
It's just... odd that the feeling isn't going away. It was just a dream, after all.
