I have a dream hangover. Sometimes, when I have a very, very realistic dream, my emotional centers of my brain kick in. For example, if I dream someone I love dies, the sadness can last long after I wake up.

Most of the times, the memory of the dream itself fades quickly, but the ‘hangover’ part lingers on which can be very strange during the day. While I cannot recall any real details from the dream, whatever strong emotion I was feeling will come back full force.

And to be sad or happy for no apparent reason makes for interesting days, sometimes.
