Sleeping with my eyes open

Ever wake up angry because of something someone did in a dream? It's possibly one of the strangest feelings in the world. I've spent whole days feeling oddly disturbed, for no reason I can remember. I have had a recent slew of these dreams, and have decided that we, as a people, need to find a way around the "dream problem". I'm going to spend this evening focused on dreaming of people I haven't seen in at least 5 years. If I'm lucky it will also involve amusement park rides, bookstores, boba tea and/or scenes from the Royal Tenenbaums. Someone out there has to have figured this out by now. It should fall in scientific discovery order somewhere between "time machine" and "invisible serum".
