yeah my dreams effect me a lot too sometimes...especially the bad ones....i sometimes when i get stressed out with work ect sleep walk or go into trances...
last night i dreamed that spiders(which i am very scared of) were dropping from the ceiling and i could feel theri claws going into my back, big black and yellow ones....when i woke up i was still half asleep and went down the hall, ducking becuase i thought spiders were going to pop out, to go to the bathroom, running......my wife got out of bed to get me and then i went back to sleep....did not remember a thing till she told me.....and thats one of the least weirdest things ive done..
about having guilt after a dream...i get that too.....or elation when you have a great dream......
