Dreams

I have some really vivid dreams, and they've been off-the-charts weird this week. I enjoy them, and I don't waste any mental energy on interpreting them; I figure it's just my brain's way of entertaining itself while I sleep.

What I can't figure out is why I wake up feeling so tired! Logically, if I've had at least 2 dreams with complicated plot twists, I must have had to go through the deeper sleep phases to get the necessary rest, and moved on to the REM sleep phase at least a few times. But when the alarm goes off at 6, my mind says "Oh, no - I just fell asleep half an hour ago!" I think I crave more dreams.
