  Yeah I like nightmares as well. The rush and relief you get realising that it didn't happen is great. The most interesting thing though, is I'm always surprised that my brain can come up with something that disturbing. That's the scary part.
context: All of my nightmares revolve around my kids being in danger or all of us being held captive. No thanks. >
  
  Good for you. Some people become anxious about going to sleep again after. >
  
  Yes bro! This is my favorite unpopular opinion ever.
  When I have a nightmare I wake up feeling like I've watched a blockbuster movie. I think about it for a few days afterwards and contemplate what it means and actually feel something for once. 
  The rest of my dreams are fucking asshole dreams. I have to be honest. Dreams of doing spreadsheets at work and shit 🤢🤢 wake up feeling depressed.
  My real life as well, its like numbed to all emotion. So nightmares for me are a release and a riveting experience. >
  
  Yeah, please get back to me when your nightmares get so bad you can't ever get a decent night sleep. I wake up multiple times a night screaming. My girlfriend doesn't exactly enjoy it either. >
  
  I also often wake up unable to differentiate whether it was real or not. I have woken up still in total belief I am in my captors house or that my children are dead etc. 
  Not a good shock of adrenaline at all. >
  
  I'd rather wake up relieved that something didn't really happen than disappointed that something didn't happen, so actually I agree with you. >
  
  My nightmares are like a horror videogame, shit goes down but it's fucking sick >
  
  I cannot agree at all but I love that you are able to take something that for so many of us can ruin a day, and use it as fuel to make you feel better. That's genuinely really cool. >
  
  Freddy Krueger approves. >
  
  Upvoted. Unpopular opinion for sure. >
  
  Ive had great dreams where i get incredibly emotionally connected with the chaacters, the reality truck hits hard when it robs me of the life in the dream. I definetely empathize although enjoying the nightmare is not something i can do >
  
  For the adrenaline junkies among us, a nightmareis a thrill ride, for reals. My dreams usually involve some level of danger/ threat/conflict, and they leave a memory for later. I can't remember having a good vanilla dream either, and I think that's the point...they're just vanilla. >
  
  I agree with this take 100 >
  
  There are nightmares and there are nightmares, where the first is like a good action movie and the latter is a psychological thriller without a happy ending. My whole day is often ruined by those bad ones. Updoot! >
  
  I've had some nightmares so terrible that they've messed with me for the entire day.
  Good dreams however give me something to aspire to and/or treasure.
  So we do disagree! >
  
  My nightmares are always about my pedo father. No thank you 😭
  And my good dreams never leave me disappointed. I recently dreamt that I took my daughter to disney. I can do that one day! >
  
  Hard agree >
  
  At first I wanted to disagree, but then I read your arguments and I somewhat agree.
  Yes, some good dreams really make me feel things I can't feel in real life. Having certain adventures and waking up finding out that was all a lie... yeah it can stick for me the entire day.
  However, nightmares also fuck me up inside the nightmare. Feelings of extreme despair, hopelessness, watching the world end, get nuked. I have these nightmares also quite often. When I do wake up, it is a sweet relief indeed. But that feeling inside the nightmare, mannnn I can't explain. >
  
  No fucking thanks, i hate having nightmares about the people I love dying in front of my eyes
