The research, which was carried out by the University of Maryland, was investigating the predictive value of dreams and asked 61 participants – aged between 17 and 42 – and who had been dating someone for at least six months, to keep a journal detailing their dream and relationship activity over a two-week period.
Results found that images of jealousy and arguing triggered next-day arguments between couples, while visions of infidelity resulted in reduced love or intimacy.
When it came to dreams regarding sex, the volunteers in good relationships spent the following days with a heightened sense of love and intimacy, but those had by people in weaker relationships had the opposite effect.
Commenting on the findings, lead researcher Dylan Selterman told the Huffington Post: "A lot of people don't pay attention to their dreams and are unaware of the impact they have on their state of mind.
"Now we have evidence that there is this association.
"[Dreams] have predictive value. People's activity changes as a function of the dream they had the night before."
Mr Selterman based the research, published earlier this month in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science, on his own experience with a college girlfriend who would get angry with the way he behaved in her dreams.
Earlier this year, a study published in the journal, Dreaming, revealed that romantic partners feature in about 20% of people's dreams.
