So, I suffer/deal with sleep apnoea and use CPAP, which means that I can function quite well - although some folks may contend that:)
I do though, wake up at ungodly hours, usually dead on the hour each hour from around 2 in the morning. I also have very realistic dreams which result in me feeling absolutely knackered the next day.
One involves playing cricket, and having to retrieve balls finely cut by the batsman down to third man - I used to often field there after opening the bowling. The dream sees me endlessly chasing after balls towards the boundary, and then struggling to throw them back to the keeper.
Then, I have the dream where I am trying to expel large flies from the kitchen, having opened the windows to try to let in a bit of air.
The last dream is very frustrating, because it involves me trying to find the loos in a new multi storey office building, where they don't put any signs on the doors and there are no windows in the office doors, so every door looks the same.
Does anyone else have really tiring/frustrating dreams?
Pleae keep it clean folks, because this is serious and I am completely shattered.
 
Andy I have the same issue with sleep but it is temporal. I can go for weeks on end and sleep ‘normally’ then without warning, the distorted technicolour mental videos arrive. In themselves they are not ‘bad’ but more distorted colours cartoons.

When I have been working on the book I am writing, the same colour shift can occur.

The so called dream experts spew out theories including flashbacks.

If only the flashback was a Star Trek scene where Amazon Women from a planet where all their men have died off.... I get nothing like that.

If you crack this let me know.

No such luck Steve.
 
Being a weight trainer and always trying to increase muscle mass, I take ZMA (zinc, magnesium and Vitamin B, no idea why they aren't called ZMB) tablets just before bed. These help induce a deep REM sleep where the muscles have the best chance of repairing themselves.
As a result, I have really vivid and totally random dreams, some I remember the next morning, some I don't, but I still know I have had a crazy dream. Never felt tired as a result of the dreams though.
 
I have been on Morphine for the past 8 weeks (Longtech & Shortech) following an operation, which has resulted in me having the most disturbing, colourful and psychodelic dreams you could imagine. Examples..... Sitting around a large boardroom table as identical dogs heads dressed in polo neck jumpers all barking at one another at the same time....... Sitting on top of a large wooden spinning top on the centre court at Wimbledon with fireworks shooting out of my head. My sister in law who happens to be my doctors practice manager tells me that these particular tablets are what all the druggies try to get there hands on by making up false claims. The sooner l can get off them the better.
 
I have vivid dreams and I'm often aware that I'm dreaming. These are usually nothing erotic or frightening but often just nice pleasant dreams :D

When I was a little boy I had night terrors and I still remember some of them to this day. What I saw was usually frightening or foreboding and it was frightening in itself to be "awake" and see things which looked absolutely solid and real which my parents couldn't see. When the night terrors thankfully stopped for many years I had a couple of reoccurring dreams one of which involved a rather ordinary scene and situation which for some reason for me was absolutely terrifying.
 
My most vivid dreams occur after eating cheesy pasta bake or pizza. Uncooked cheese does not appear to have the same effect.
 
I know someone who shouts when sleeping. I am talking about shouting " Hoi, Hoi, Hoi" as loud as possible.
