It’s not dreaming that is tedious. My understanding is that the brain always dream but that you only remember your dreams if you wake up during them. So, remembering 4-6 dreams would mean that you wake up (probably unconsciously) multiple times per night. It’s probably what is tiring rather than the dream itself.
Disclaimer : I have no source and I may be wrong. It’s my understanding.
I don’t feel physically tired in the mornings. I ran in high school 8-10 miles a day and would collapse, waking up dream free.
Now I wake up refreshed but I’m sick of watching the same rehashed combinations of dreams. I can do lucid dreaming, but I’d just rather not dream at all
You always dream. That's the thing. Unless something is seriously wrong you dream every night. You might not want to remember them but you'll dream all the same.
Might be a symptom of my good memory? Shame. I like the memory but not the dreams
