Both of those effects generally last well into the following day, if not several days (in the case of memoirs or flashbacks in dreams).
It's frustrating and debilitating. I often can't focus on anything else.

Yes, that's how I felt and it just had to be my first day of the new DBT class, Mindfulness
I don't remember much of the class, except they did a guided meditation and when I closed my eyes I went back into that dream. So it wasn't relaxing at all for me. As soon as I left there I came home and took a nap. Got up to go to PT. Wasted day thanks to a dream.
