Love is pain disguised as a dream.

I think it has a lot to do with giving, yes. To someone that you care very deeply about, and are ready and willing to take them as they are.

Great that’s a different approach. …going from the specific to the general definition.
So maybe giving. …but not just giving what you want. But giving what others need

That is part of it! Also, you need to listen intently (I guess that’s part of giving your attention). You need to be accepting of someone’s differences. Even if you and someone else are madly in love and you get along super well, you will still have different opinions on some things and you might have different ways of thinking (I am an emotional thinker and my Hubby is a logical thinker). Loving another person means that you put them first. There’s only one cookie left? Well, better leave it for them!
This also translates into doing things that you know your loved one would want, even when they aren’t present. For example, I like to speed while driving, but Hubby doesn’t want me to drive dangerously. So, even when Hubby is not with me, I try to drive safely, cause that is what he would want.
Different people have different “love languages”: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch So, it’s important to know what’s important to the other person. I appreciate words of affirmation / kindness and gifts from the heart. My husband appreciates quality time and physical touch (such as cuddling and hugs and kisses). So, you gotta “speak” the other person’s love language, to help them feel loved. 
Sorry if I rambled.

It’s a vibration, an energy. I felt it when I was psychotic and it felt amazing. I’m not talking about emotions or feelings, but energy. Unlike anything I’ve felt before.

Wow that’s great… there’s a lot to learn there thank you. So I guess we have to learn how to love each individual because everyone has their own dislikes and likes and tending to them as an individual is what love is then we must “learn” people I suppose. Or adjust our selfish behaviors to help them feel good.
If there’s one thing I’ll take from this its: don’t take the last cookie haha
Thanks

Thinking of the other person. Considering their needs and interests and not just you own. An emotion that you will do things because you feel like it, for the other person.
Having a severe mental illness has made me less able to feel love. But I get a large amount of love from a few people. I share the love I get with some others who don’t have it as well as I do.
That’s what love means to me.
