The main problem is always about how  they handled it, and there's group A who wish that the dream wasn't a dream and there's group B who wants a better explanation for the dream.The loss of reputation comes from the idea (call if fact, if you like) that the writers had treated their own series and also the prime time soap genre disrespectfully, especially the super-drama of Bobby's death.The psychological effect (the way Chris2 described it) is simply that  it happened regardless of the consequences. You could say that the dream season (which wasn't even meant to be a dream) was the first New Dallas, and they changed it back to Old Dallas. It's like how Peyton Place was really awesome in black & white and then it became colour (also very awesome) and then you don't want it to go back to black & white.</blockquote>
