I do like getting sleep but I just don’t like the dreaming part in general.
Because my dreams feel so surreal and it just reminds me of the psychosis.
Rarely, I have a dream I enjoy but still, it feels surreal and I don’t like that part, so I’d rather not dream at all.
Also, I feel like I would have more energy because the dreams feel emotionally draining.

I go back and forth…I know I would technically be better off if I didn’t remember my dreams…(without dreams at all we’d be in trouble as they’re important for memory) but at the same time that’s like half my life so I don’t know. I can understand the feeling though.

Sometimes my dreams can be so lucid and so life like - feel so real.
It’s a form of escapism so sometimes I like it.

I have very frequent lucid dreams. So I understand.
Once in a while a nice dream pops up.
But yeah. I generally dread going to bed and the night-time.

The nature of the dreams remind me of the nature of my psychosis that’s what I don’t like…it’s something about the way they go about. It’s hard to explain in words.
I don’t like having bad dreams, but most of my dreams are neither good nor bad.

Yea I had a cool flying one… I had to flap my arms lol, but that was before psychosis. Now I’d rather not have any though even with that cool aspect of control in lucid ones.

I don’t like dreams either. They almost always turn bad and I just get sick of nightmares.

I have very vivid dreams. When they’re good I love them I never want to wake up. But when they’re bad they are way too intense I hate those. They’re so scary. I never want to sleep again after those.

I love my dreams they are often lucid and often in color with music and i can fly and control the dream to a degree and if I don’t like where they are headed I can wake myself up.

I had to respond, I’m supposed to do terrible things to myself in dreams,
then wake and think Thank God I didn’t act.

I have a lot of nightmares and I never know that I’m dreaming. My dreams are very vivid and feel completely real, no matter how bizarre. It’s very troublesome. I sadly relate.

I have very strange dreams, in colors, they feel real. I see a lot of my family, friends, hometown, stories. I see my dead uncle a lot, I don’t know why as I was never close to him. I see strange creatures of sorts which do not exist.
A week ago I saw my partner and I were in a huge house by the ocean and he was fishing and he caught a huge fish which was the size of a table and we were trying to figure out how to cook it.

Dreaming is a normal part of a sleep cycle. We need to dream to blow off the steam of the day. That you remember your dreams just indicates that you woke up during your REM sleep. REM sleep is when dreaming occurs. Some medications (e.g. opioids, TCAs and others) inhibit the REM phase of sleep.
Most people who remember their dreams are awakening during REM sleep. Even though you are in bed for x or more hours, you are probably not actually sleeping all of that time. You may need a sleep study to find out what is going on while you are asleep.
