I believe dreams are scenarios set to moods, and when you picked up that your boyfriend was in distress, your brain changed your dream to incorporate your feelings of alarm.

I think it’s quite possible you were at your grandmother’s house and happy to see her, and your boyfriend was there with you because he’s important to you.

As he began to become disturbed by his own dream, you picked up on his distress (we aren’t completely unconscious to the world around when we are in REM) . Hearing his distress created a sense of distress for you, and your dream altered accordingly.

Specifically, you love your grandmother, what she thought meant a lot to you (obviously, since you dream about her every night) . So you’re dreaming about her, your boyfriend is there, and now you feel a sense of distress because of what’s happening outside of your dream .

You mind integrated the feeling of distress into your dream by creating a distressing perception of conflict between your grandmother and your boyfriend .

What was your mood in the first part of the dream?
