How do dreams affect your life?

Sometimes I wake up thinking that "I wanted to stay asleep just to see what would happen in my dreams".
It also affects me cause I feel real emotions during my dreams. I talk to people in dreams but couldnt clearly see their faces and when I wake up, I wonder what happened to him/them? Who is he? Is he even a real person?

Does any of you feel the same?

I think I understand that dreams are messages from your subconscious intended to better prepare you for the challenges you’re facing in waking life. As for not wanting to wake up so soon, you always wake up from a dream any time you start to get excited. Isn’t that so frustrating?! Now I’ve read that when this happens you can get back to sleep and resume the dream by, I think either frantically rubbing your hands together or by rolling over in your bed? But I’ve tried those methods and never had any success with them myself.
