I dont dream very often anymore or at least nothing I can actually remember if I do. However when I sleep in too late I get nightmares. I wake up at 6 every morning and waking up later tends to screw with my body and my brain.

    Waking up and then falling back asleep will cause dreams almost without fail....not sure why urs are nightmares but mine typically are too.

    OP isn't trying to resolve the situation, he's just asking if anyone else has nightmares when they sleep in.

    You probably just remember the dreams before you wake up better.

    Then why not sleep early? Even when you think negative you can normally have nightmares.

      Giving myself more nightmares is not what I am aiming for.

    Set your alarm then, so you don't sleep in

      It is amazing that OP did not think of this solution earlier.

          So do you sleep through it or what? You link the problem to sleeping in, but I wouldn't call waking up at 6 am every morning sleeping in

            Yes, I have slept through it before. Usually when I click snooze and say five more minutes but its usually more like two hours. Why I usually just force myself up at 6

              Look into whats called "sleep paralysis" I get it, don't like it. It can be corrected by having a consistent sleep pattern. Waking and sleeping at a regular schedule and limit stress will correct the problem
