I would have dreams that would leave me shaken, stunned and confused the next morning. Not necessarily 'bad' dreams, just 'intense' dreams that didn't have an ending.
A therapist told me to just "write a happy ending to the dream and let it go. It was only a dream".
This was at a time when I was in early recovery from drugs and alcohol. My brain was 'rewiring' itself and I was living a very different lifestyle, re-entering the workplace and going through intensive rehab.
I suppose that it was caused by the stress and major life changes. I was drinking more coffee and eating more sugar at the time.
What else is going on? Changes in sleep and dreaming patterns don't usually happen without a cause. If you can think of no major changes, you might consider getting a physical from your doctor, if you haven't done that in a while. Get bloodwork done and explain what is happening with you. They may refer you on to a specialist depending on what they find.
Best of luck to you.
