You have my most sincere sympathies. I generally have hyper-realistic surreal nightmares that I am convinced after waking I have to go back to sleep to *fix* else that other world be stuck in the hell that I left it. It never works. Mostly I can ignore that urge now. I have only had a few storylines where I dreamed I woke up and those were thankfully reasonably quotidian.

For example: standard surreal dream, dreamed I woke up, complete with sense of dread about abandoned dream world, dreamed I went to the bathroom, woke up for real in a wet bed.

It's really quite annoying. I wish dreams were more pleasant for more people I know. I'm sure someone has pleasant dreams, else where would that trope come from?
