Can a Dream Take Over Your Day?

[Lionheart]

 Last night's Dream was a hard one. I watched as my better half, ( Mary Jo ) and I went through a splitting of our ways. It started when I had left to do a show, came back early and there was a man in the house with her. She then had said, that our relationship had become stale and it was time to end it. I then saw what became of both us due to the split. I had gone to Montana to live with a group of people that shared my goals of helping others, while she had stayed with this new man, only to find out he was abusive. I couldn't control this Dream at all though. I even tried to end it, just to see that I was back in it once I fell asleep again. When I finally awoke I felt lousy, kind of sick inside. I still feel depressed, even though I know this is a Dream. I just talked to Mary Jo here about it, she brought up the fact that maybe this was today's lesson. That I needed to bring up here how much a Dream is responsible for our moods the next day. I know that after a "retrieval" scenario, I feel elated inside the entire day. But, this feeling can stop any time now. 
I'm curious to hear your take on this.
              Thank you!

Hi,
Look at everything in your lives. If this is unreal I'd remember it. If it's a strong possibility then act upon it.
I've had these dreams many times long ago and they. do stink. I've had real ones where whatever you do is futile. These get you down at first but the underlying problem needs careful thought before any remedial action is taken. If you rush you end up on your backside. I've worn this T-shirt. You can be charitable all the time but charity begins at home. A point worth remembering.
Your interpretation of its meaning depends on is it a dream or is it deeper like a premonition. The latter you cant wake up from when the info is given. Emotions play a strong part here too. They are very real in these dreams.
Hope this gives some enlightenment.

 Thank you for your reply Szaxx, it was great as usual. My question was more on the correlation between Dreams and your physical moods. This entire day has been pretty hum-drum for me. No matter what I do, I can't shake that depressing feeling. The worst part is I realize why I am feeling this way, knowing the problem is supposed to help lessen it. But, that doesn't seem to be the case. Oh well, tonight I will try to Dream of "blue skies" and "butterflies", lol!

Hi,
What you're saying is not
Good dream, feel great
Bad dream feel depressed.
It sounds like crazy dream, got no control of emotions and they are fixed, can't change them no matter what.
This a better result?

I think they may play a little part in your mood through out the day, but only if you let it.
If you stay contemplating the meaning of that dream and stressing about it, then yes it probably will cause you to have a groggy day.
But say you accept it and for the rest of the day maybe try doing something to counter-act what was happening in the dream (i.e. something that'll make you both happy like dinner and a movie) with your other half to brighten both of your days then you'll most likely have a cheerful day.

Dreams definitely affect our day mood and emotions, because they simulate "life like" probable scenarios of our lives. At the time of the experience, we are not aware that this is a simulation. Most often our dreams are results of daily thoughts that dominate, or events that capture out of the ordinary interests. Dreams also may bring to surface our deepest fears, that we don't even want to think about, but we all know that no one is insured against unfortunate circumstances. It looks like this particular dream of yours falls under this exact category. You "lived" and experienced this scenario, because your fear has the same creative power as your constructive thoughts. Your mood was affected because you couldn't help but analyze your emotions if such a possibility should occur. Also, sometimes we think that dreams could be precognitive. The uncertainty of the nature of the dream also may trigger worrying that it could be in fact a premonition.
In any case, however, the best we could do, is to put a positive spin to anything we experience in our waking and dream lives. The power is always in the present.

I really like your reply. These types of dreams really change someone's mind.  Feel depressed.

This is why it's hard for me to believe the whole "dreams are astral projections on a very low awareness level" theory. Especially some of the dreams I have. Maybe some dreams are, but for the most part I would like to hope not all of mine are. Since I dream every night and a lot of them are violent and make no sense at all. 

@ Lionheart. Yeah I have had those dreams... quite often. Sometimes they are good dreams though, and they follow me around all day. I guess it just depends.
