Does anyone ever have dreams that seems SO real that you have a hard time distinguinshing a dream from reality? Like you sometimes can't remember if something that happened was just in your dream or if it really happened?

I have had this happen alot, but more recently it has been harder than usual, because I wake up with the emotions that what happened in the dream was real.

For example, I had a long dream last night, basically involving that I was feeling really really depressed, called my aunt (who is also on of my closest friends) for someone to talk to. She got on the phone and told me "Please don't call me anymore. I have a family of my own to take care of and I don't have time to deal with your problems". I felt so alone and like such a loser, I tried to kill myself.

Now I really don't think my aunt would say anything like that. She has always been very understanding. But I woke up from that dream feeling very sad and alone, and feeling like I shouldn't call her. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry again. I KNOW this wasn't real, however my emotions FEEL like it was. Does that make sense?

I keep trying to remind myself that this wasn't real, that my aunt never said that, but I am having a hard time stopping or changing the way it has made me feel.
