Since I was young, I've dreamt with incredibly vivid recollection. I still remember several dreams from my childhood. Needless to say, they've only intensified. I've read that its a link to increased depression.

I am always so fucking exhausted. My mind works for what feels like hours at night, and when I wake up I don't want to move at all, I need to take amphetamine or caffeine to pay attention to anything at all. As I'm very depressed all the time, its not a very good combination, especially in a scholastic sense. I've found that dreaming is of the most mentally exhaustive activities out there. Does anyone know how I can dream less?

I hate it, really, that I'm trying to suppress my subconscious thoughts, I usually embrace them so readily. But its gotten to the point where I am trying to take every precaution I can to just function that much more competently in my day to day life, and so any help as to stunting my dreams a bit and allowing me more time in deep as opposed to REM sleep would really help.

Thank you.
