Question 1

does having dreams in sleep mean you had good sleep?

Accepted Answer

Not always: Good sleep requires a variety "stages", seen on EEG; during one, we dream, tho we might forget by morning. Bad sleep disrupted by pain, drugs, snoring, etc. is "non-restorative", but could still dream.  Antihistamines (diphenhydramine) or alcohol, though causing grogginess, intereferes w/ sleep cycles = bad sleep. Problems? See provider for better medication, sleep study. See sleep specialist.

Question 2

is dreaming a sign of a good sleep or completely the opposite?

Accepted Answer

Dreaming occurs : Nightly in all healthy individuals.  Most dreams are in rapid eye movement (rem) periods that happen about every 90 minutes -- less frequent in early sleep & more frequent later in sleep.  Many people don't think they have dreams because they don't remember them.  Preventing or disrupting rem sleep causes a rebound increase in rem & has various pos & neg effects, including relief of depression.

Question 3

what is a good sleep ? a sleep with dreams or without dreams

Accepted Answer

Feeling refreshed?: I don't think there is such a research study to show which one is better. I believe that if you feel refreshed upon waking up, that suggests you just had a good sleep regardless of no dream, little dream, or lots of dreams. My guess is a little dream is common and thus normal part of being human. Eat well, exercise regularly. Of course, good sleep is good medicine. See doc regularly. Good luck.

Question 4

is it good sleep if you can remember your dreams
ightmares?

Accepted Answer

It can be: Restorative sleep  takes 20-30 minutes/night & occurs when your brain electrical activity slows down, "slow wave sleep."   the rest of the night asleep your brain is  busy: dreaming and other stuff we don't know about.  You remember  dreams because you awaken partially or fully during or just after them.  If yo feel rested in the am, u r probably ok, but your other symptoms suggest other problems.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Seek elsewhere...: Poppy seeds contain a derivative of opium, to the degree that ingesting even moderate amounts can cause  false positive drug test in some circumstances. If you are looking for a natural substance to help with sleep, melatonin and healthy sleep habits will be much more effective.
