I noticed similar occurrences when I was really down... I'm unsure if it was my mind trying to process the depression, or feeding into it, or just bogged down by it... or maybe all of the above. There are times when my dreams are remembered in great detail, and the feelings they evoke stick with me for a very long time... That is usually about the time I address the feelings/dreams in therapy to be able to process them further...
Also, I noticed when I dream more lucidly, I can recall the dreams, but still feel rested in the morning... depression has a way of sapping everything out of you...
