Ever woken up with the urge to elbow
your cheating, lying spouse in the side after dreaming about his
infidelity - when in reality he has done nothing more offensive than hog
the duvet?
You're not
alone. More than half of women wake up in a mood with their partner -
because he annoyed them in a dream during the night, according to new
research.
A study found
that men frequently commit misdemeanours such as being
unfaithful, having a row or even fathering a secret child in their
wives' dreams.
And it's not just husbands and
boyfriends who are to blame - nearly two thirds of all the 2,000 adults
polled said they are regularly in a bad mood with people who have upset
them in a dream.
One
in 20 people regularly give their boss the cold shoulder as they dreamed
they sacked them the night before, the poll by hotel chain Premier Inn
found.
It's not surprising then that four in ten adults said their moods are affected by the dreams they have had the previous evening.
A spokeswoman for Premier Inn said: 'The research shows that our dreams impact heavily on our moods the next day.
'Whilst we may wake-up reeling or
confused, or as these result show in a bad mood with someone, the best
thing to do is just shake it off and make the most of the day ahead.'
'It's
important to try and unwind after a hard day at work, but that is
easier said than done if something is playing on your mind.
'Our aim is to make our guest's stay with us as pleasant as possible and to ensure a good night guaranteed.'
The
research found a third of those polled said they dream more when they
are stressed, with work issues being the biggest contributor.
A
third said that a conflict with a colleague often rears its head in a
subsequent dream they have and 42 per cent have then confronted the
person in question.
But it's not all bad news - a third of people have even had a romantic dream about a colleague.
The
poll also found that 43 per cent of people experience reoccurring dreams
with visions of running away from something, flying and teeth falling
out the most common. With a further one in five keep dreaming that they
fall over.
The Queen, Barack Obama and Cheryl Cole were the celebrities that adults are most likely to dream about.
And 44 per cent of people often dream about an ex-partner.
The
study also found that one in five adults said their dreams are affected
by what they eat before bedtime and 20 per cent said they have more
vivid dreams when they are staying away from home.
Dream
Expert, Davina MacKail adds: 'What we think about last thing before
sleep affects our dreams, so if you're worried about work or a tiff you
had with your partner those anxieties will rear their ugly head as we
are trying to fall asleep or will wake us in the early hours resulting
in a bad mood the following morning.
'There
are a number of ways to ensure sweeter dreams and happier moods the
next day, including exercising to reduce stress, avoiding horror movies
late at night and avoiding late afternoon naps.'
