Anyone wake feeling exhausted after seemingly dreaming all night

Yes!! Finally, I wasn't aware there was a disorder called Epic Dreaming. This is my life. I've always had, what I called, night sagas. They are vivid, lasting most of the night and I wake up tired, if not emotionally exhausted.
What is different for me is that they are hardly banal or lacking in affective anything. They are simply the most intense experiences I experience. And it's multiple times a week. Sometimes every night.
Like this morning. I'm not sure I quite made it back into this reality yet. Hence how I found this.
Tons of body disassociation. It's like when you merge two images and one is just a bit off. I know my brain is sending the messages to function, but there is a hefty degree of floating outside of everything. Trying to plug back in. Anyone else deal with this?

This definitely resonates with me, and it seems many others on this thread, so you're not alone! I know exactly what you mean when you say you wake up emotionally and mentally exhausted. I wish I had any idea of how to help, but here I lay very tired and having to go to work in a few hours and scared to go to sleep cause I know how hard it will be to wake up 🙁 sending you all the best my friend, hopefully the powers that be will deliver us a solution someday

Mine are very intense and super stressful most of the time. I had to look up banal and like you that definitely doesn’t apply. I find myself just getting up as the dreams are exhausting! I don’t want to take sleeping pills. Let me know if you find any answers.
