This is perfectly normal. As you said, it doesn't happen often at first, but once you get more used to the idea of dreams having a continuation like that it usually gets more frequent. I actually had a month or so when I had a lot of dreams where I'd slip in and out of awake consciousness, and yet felt the dream was completely unbroken. You could do it at will, like many people can, if you train it, often by means of slipping from the awake state directly into the dream state; plenty of material on it around the forums.
In my opinion, continuing dreams at will seems like a really cool thing to be able to do; I'm honestly not sure why it would, in any way, be linked with depression or some other kind of negative state of mind.
