I think that based on your moral standings, your subconscious shows you the true facts, albeit will probably be unclear to you at the moment, for example if you like to lie and cheat, you may find yourself in a poker game, or getting mugged.
As for the question, however, it really depends of your definition of "morality", do these people mean morality in a sense that is... I'm being watched, I have to do good, or is it in a sense of... Yes! I would love to help you! I'm sure that most people strive to be good, or neutral good, but I'm not sure what effect it would have on your dream worlds if you went around for a week and decided just to apply the douche bag component to every situation. I think, in a sense, not to say the word "should" but we might simply strive to act like our better counter part in the dream. This is difficult unless your lucid, because in a regular dream, you just follow the plot, and make decisions along the way. If we act evil in our dreams, I don't think that it will have any adverse effects on our waking bodies, perhaps it may implant a certain way of thinking into our rational minds, but nothing "Inception" like. Now, if we are lucid while dreaming, I don't think we should give a damn about morality, because we know fully what we are doing, and therefore there cannot be any unexpected results. Unless, however, your mind decides to 'betray' you and sends a group of mercenaries to kill you and wake you up from the dream. That would be... Bad.
I think that this is something very interesting and thought provoking. I'd like to see the inputs of others on this as well.
