nightmares breaking into reality

[baratron]

Oh, I forgot to mention... very weird thing happened to me this morning. I had a nightmare about being back at work, but everything was very different, and people around me started smoking really heavily, and I had the most awful asthma attack - and then I woke up actually having an asthma attack. So, did I dream about asthma because I couldn't breathe in real life, or did I have the asthma attack because I dreamt I was having one? Most odd.
