Wow. That's pretty scary. I wasn't dreaming per se, but I was living in an alternate reality (mania) where I was the center of the universe...like a god. I played with people like they were video games made for my enjoyment. Ugh. I don't ever want to go back to that. It didn't make me a very popular guy in the end. I think this is very different than the original posters' problem. But I couldn't help to notice some similarities.
