How Did You Sleep Last Night?

Crashed last night from exhaustion of not sleeping properly for days and actually slept solidly through the night. Was so tired today that I went back to bed for a nap... ended up sleeping through the entire day. I would feel bad, except I know I badly needed the rest.
 
How did I sleep last night? Not well, I woke up startled yelling "oh my gosh! oh my gosh! There's a huge spider!" and waking up my boyfriend who then turned on the light to find it; however, the spider was in my dream, not in real life.

This has been happening a lot lately, the whole sleeping and then for some reason jolting awake because of something in my dream that I can't decipher as a dream at the time I jolt awake. I know it's probably because my body is on alert, but I hope it wears off. Chamomile tea isn't even helping me calm these moments down.
 
I slept ok last night but had another nightmare.

I saw my psych doc today and he said if I get them day after day, there is a medication he can put me on that will help me.

I hate and loathe nightmares. I took a nap today.
