The previous day's activities had an impact on what was dreamed that night, and the dreams subsequently had an impact on the subjects' personal relationships the next day. Strong emotions experienced in dreams, such as jealousy and infidelity, caused strains in intimacy the next day. People who dreamed about fighting with their mate would be more likely to – you guessed it – fight in real life the next day. However, the good news is that couples who were on solid ground before a steamy infidelity dream was experienced may be ready for action – i.e., intimacy – after the dream. The conclusion researchers are coming to is that our dreams may relay how we feel about our real-life love (and sex) lives. Not only that, but also dreams may predict how our relationships will pan out, at least in the short term.
