Dreams affect me when I'm still awake

[TaarnaGirl]

I ALWAYS have very intense, very vivid, extremely detailed, full colour dreams. Sometimes they affect my mood so I'll wake up angry at a person I was angry at in my dream, or whatever the feelings were--they won't leave me for hours. Sometimes I'm really disoriented and I don't know where I am when I wake up, or it was so real, I have to check things to see if they really happened. I also sometimes know that I am dreaming, like I'll be scared of something and say "it's just a dream, it's just a dream" but I can't really control what's happening, so I don't think it's lucid dreaming. And I know I false wake too, where I dream that my alarm has gone off, I get up, go to the bathroom, and get dressed, THEN my alarm goes off, and I'm like, "I just did this!" Is this sort of lucid dreaming, maybe getting there? How can I control them more? Sometimes they really bother me a lot because of the emotions I feel in the dreams. I also have a lot of repeat dreams, with slightly different details, but almost like memories instead of dreams.

Comments? This is more me venting, since I've never been able to really talk about my dreams before with people who actually know what I'm talking about!
THANKS!
