I've had dreams that were so real I could wake up and question the reality of the situation. I've also had dreams that greatly affect my mood.
Had a dream of dying once. In the dream, I was laying in a bed, looking out on to water and trees. All I could remember was an incredibly peaceful feeling (I was old) and thinking "Today is a good day to die..."
Was a really strange two or three days there.....
So, I can understand how dreams can affect your mood or functioning.
