Yeah, I hear you. I try to be optimistic so I wonder if it could be a blessing in disguise in some ways? After all, a lot of dreams upon waking, just leave the person feeling confused and even upset. These days, for me, my dreams seem to be direct reflections of the things I've gone through that day. So it's still there even in my sleep. No escape! But, I still like dreaming, yes.

Do you sleep well @Michael2Wolves? Sometimes irregular sleep patterns can effect the ability to dream. There could be a number of other causes too.

Also I just want to say if you can find that something which brings you meaning and joy, something positive, then it can become like a foundation and an anchor, a support, to get you through very difficult times or just through life in general.
