Dream people

A lot of the time, I wake up from dreams feeling a strong connection to the people I dreamed about. More often than not, they aren't even real people. They're just people I've made up in my sleep, or modified versions of real people. That doesn't seem to matter. In fact, it may be better to wake up with strong feelings about imaginary people than real ones. I'm imagining a world in which we could control who we meet in our dreams, and carry out long term relationships with them. After all, if you wake up from the dream world feeling like you've just had really good social interactions for your entire dream time, then isn't your social life just that much richer?
