Is there a such thing as a happy dream?!?

I've been suffering from sleep deprivation for about 13 years. I never enter REM sleep without medication (it doesn't always work). What I really want to address is I NEVER dream something pleasant. It's always a situation where I'm let down.... EXAMPLE, If I dream about an ex boyfriend, he's cheating on me and ALWAYS chooses the other woman. I'm left feeling inadequate, humiliated and I'm going to spend the rest of my life alone.
Not sure what to make of it because I always walk away from bad relationships. I have been told I give up too easy but I leave because I don't feel loved and I have a low to zero tolerance for games, liars, users, and opportunist. I despise being used or taken for granted.

perhaps you could chose a therapist that understands dreams so they could help interpret what this means for you. I do believe that our dreams hold our unconscious thoughts and do hold meaning for us and our dreams hold symbols that we can gain information from. I just don't remember my dreams long enough to get anything from them. take care.

In my experience, the short answer is no. I'm always very stressed in my dreams. They are never nice.

I love my dreams. Even the "bad" ones with one or two exceptions. I can't answer your question but I wonder if your question is the real reason you posted this.
Take this for what it's worth... I'll probably regret giving my opinion and no offense is intended Maybe you've been given good advice. Personally I don't think I have enough wisdom to always be sure when the situation is as you described. Not nearly enough for a zero tolerance policy. But I do think I have enough wisdom to wait until I'm sure of the situation and any motivations. I think I've been judicious in choosing/allowing relationships to form. If you've had many bad relationships maybe you could examine your motives and consider that the criteria you use in your zero tolerance policy may not always be based on wisdom and reality. Just a thought.
