The dream experience

I find dreams fascinating and mysterious. Isn't it amazing that we can emotionally and physically experience something without actually experiencing it? It can be a wonderful way to work through anxiety, anguish, sadness, and a dozen other emotions.

The thing that I struggle with is having such intense and realistic dreams. When I wake up, I find it hard to leave behind. I guess I berate myself for spending time thinking about something that never actually happened outside the confines of my head. But then I wonder how valid that is. The dream did happen to my body and mind, so it seems natural to have an emotional carry over in our waking state.

What do you all think about that? Does anyone else see dreams as a resource to overcoming problems, or experience dreams in a very intense way that they often feel troubled upon waking?
