Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s normal to dislike dreaming, especially if your dreams are vivid, stressful, or leave you feeling unsettled. Dreams don’t have to feel meaningful or enjoyable, and disliking them doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.
Yes. Some people enjoy their dreams; others find them stressful, embarrassing, or just exhausting—especially when they wake up remembering every detail. You can’t really choose whether you dream, but you don’t have to like the experience or read a big meaning into it.
If you mean you regularly wake from frightening dreams or they’re interfering with your sleep, it may be worth talking with a health professional. Otherwise, “I wish my brain would stop making movies at night” is a very understandable feeling.
