Have you ever woken up early because of bad dreams?

I just did. 4:52 a.m., neck and shoulder aching from too much computer time yesterday, and having a weird nightmare about the ex. My mind was making awful things up that never happened. I dreamed that I was living in the house we used to own together, and someone had drilled through the screws holding the back door to the door frame. I showed the ex, in the dream, and suddenly he was here, online, writing about how funny my fear had been to him, telling people, "You should have seen her face!"

Yes , it has happened to me. Waking up because of a dream and then not being able to fall asleep again because I'm busy thinking about it

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters I woke up THIS morning at 4:40 am, but, thankfully, it was because the CAT was hungry and was sitting next to my pillow on the bed.
