things that are annoying:

To dream an awesome mystery plot (mine somehow involved a carnival, elephants and some sort of scheme that caused all electrical devices to be set up to use as little energy as possible, and rigged in weird ways, which made the investigator suspicious for some reason), and then to wake up before you had a chance to dream the revelation/climax scene, so that the stupid mystery continues to bother long you after you woke up even as the details of the dream fade. And of course it is impossible to come up with the solution while awake, because it was a dream and never made any sense to begin with, no matter what it felt like while the story in your dream unfolded and one your POV characters investigated while the others evaded and hid something.

At least you didn't have to go pee at the important part and miss it all?

That is true. Probably the plot would have sucked anyway. I fail when it comes to coming up with decent stories, and I think my subconscious is not much better at it (somewhat better, especially with the horror tropes, but not so much with the coherency). I was still grumpy about this half the morning, and somehow felt cheated out of a resolution.

Yeah, I've had those too, where you're trying desperately to go back to sleep and find out how it ended. :(
