A young married man became the subject of an erotic story on Reddit. His marriage was quite ordinary: it involved love, taxes, and watching TV series, and there was no physical infidelity. But one day, he had a dream in which his ex-girlfriend knocked on his door and invited him on a date. After that, he began honing his lucid dreaming skills and started controlling the dream narratives.
For a year, he lived in an alternative reality at night, when he would walk through Paris with his first love or recreate memories from their college days. “It got to the point I was looking forward to going to sleep to be with her,” the man wrote.
However, his wife sensed something was wrong. Feeling guilty, the husband decided that honesty was the best policy. He confessed that he practiced lucid dreaming and that he saw his ex-girlfriend in his dreams. His wife initially thought it was a joke, then called him a “cheating weirdo” and left the house. She returned 24 hours later and announced she was filing for divorce because she didn’t want to compete with a phantom.
MEA WorldWide highlights the most striking comments from readers. The public largely sided with the wife, noting that the husband didn’t love her and was wasting her time. Commenters have also expressed that no one can compete with fantasy. The man was called creepy, strange, a loser, and in need of therapy.
