Last night I had really vivid dreams and a restless sleep. I have been hypomanic recently so maybe that is why it is happening for both of us. Have you had a med change recently? Meds can affect our sleep and dreams. It is really unsettling to have these dreams and wake up disorientated. Try grounding exercise upon waking to ground you firmly in reality and let the dreams slip back into your unconscious. This helps me a bit. Then get up and get immediately into activities like making coffee and breakfast to distract yourself. Try not to focus on the dreams. I hope you have a better sleep tonight.
