All my dreams feel real which makes the bad ones terrifying, and such a relief when you wake up and realise your safe at home in bed.

'storyline' rings a bell too.

dreams are much more structured and follow a storyline. before i would get massive bursts of dreams. but now the one dream can go all night. even if i wake a couple of times i will be back in the same dream when i nod off. i can also wake and my brainsometimes is carrying on with this story on its own. i am almost observing this seperatly lying in bed awake. its like the dream mode hasn't just 'switched off' in time.

bad dreams/terrifying that seem real, you just gotta jump in there and go into the fear, face it. it will work out fine.

This is also resonates with me. You are asleep and dreaming and at the same time part of you is not. Its fully aware of everything around it.

never had the sluggishness though.

you state that you still enter the dreaming as soon as you sleep even after the energy work. so this change is still there.

for those of age, i find a glass of wine helps calm the nerves and helps for falling asleep.
