Nothing quite like sleeping for 9 hours and waking up more exhausted than before falling asleep
My sleep medications usually work. I had to stop taking it when I brought little Gwen into the family because I had to feed her every 3 to 4 hours. Still, no nightmares.
Last night that all changed. Two vivid nightmares, the 2nd of which I woke from TWICE and then fell right back in. As usual, I couldn't really walk or even raise my arms in the nightmare and woke up worried that it was real.
My daytime medication is lounging around with my kid cats, watching movies and dozing off.
With the way the world is going, I am afraid this might become the 'norm' for my nights.

With the Royal Clowder protecting you, I wouldn't think anything could cause you distress. 
Especially when things have been going well.
Though I don't use any medications for anything, I have had times where nightmares have plagued me in much the same way as you describe. I don't recall how or why they stopped. Could be that after a number if injuries to my spine and shoulders I just don't sleep for more than four hours at a time.
Last night I had the opposite problem, couldn't sleep until about 0630! And I was up early the morning prior. I finally got some sleep but now it's mid afternoon already. It's nice out and I don't even feel like getting dressed.
I hope you can return to your restful, uneventful nights soon, like tonight.
