Oh yeah, that exact scenario happened to me a few months ago. I had one where I was critically late for work, and stuck in heavy traffic, extremely far away. I lit up a cigarette frantically and said, "Oh, my god, I wish this were a dream! I'm gonna be in so much trouble!" As I said that, I banged my steering wheel with my fists, and it broke off, and my entire car fell apart instantly. I fell out of it and yelled in complete stress, then held my hands up to it and yelled something which I don't remember. Drivers kept honking, so I turned toward the car nearest to me and flipped it off of the bridge with my mind. Funny part is, I still didn't catch that this was a dream.
I thought to myself, "well, Professor X (from X-Men) said that in heightened periods of emotional stress, the mutant gene can become active and that would explain my powers." So I levitated, and then flew to work, arriving. I never realized that it was a dream, I literally believed that genetics were responsible for all of that. In the dream, it made perfect sense. I had both been late to work, AND watched all three X-Men movies the day before having that dream. Hah.
