I didn't. Do you? Searched the archives here for both happy sleep and happy dream and didn't see anything that seemed to be along those lines. Thanks!

I think, "What a waste of time. I didn't like that at all." So in answer to your question I would say 'grateful'. Mike.

I'm always on the lookout for a good bone broth, which is where I learned the word today. I had a dream last night that I've had before. It was a little different this time. Looking for a house, three kittens were with me this time...they were ludic. A word I learned just this morning after my dream. I don't know a word for happy dreaming but, I never considered it a waste before.

Gk paleo-, ancient + -mnesia, condition of memory] a good memory of events of the distant past an interesting word, but it doesn't seem to have ever been used for much of anything.. "Not all of Mrs. Byrne's offerings are addlepating esoteria; some are refreshingly useful, like paleomnesia, "happy memories from events far in the past," and euneirophenia, "peace of mind after a pleasant dream." - Christi M.
