DAFT though it may sound, a third of British couples have fallen out with their partners over how they’ve behaved in a dream.

Actually, it’s not that far-fetched as most of us have woken up from a particularly vivid dream still feeling the emotion created there.

Sometimes this is happy, sometimes sad and sometimes plain mad.

In a poll of 2,000 people for bedmaker Silentnight, 40 per cent of people said dreams can change the way they feel about others.

Since many felt that dreams helped them solve their problems, perhaps there’s really quite a bit of truth in dreaming!
