Spiritual progress will feel yucky (by depression or anxiety) not as a side effect, but because that is the process! Experiencing the "yucky" unflinchingly is the process you have to go through.
The whole basis of the dream world is that it is symbolic of an idea so unpleasant that it just can't be faced (the illusory separation from god). The idea and the feeling it engenders are greatly repressed, and you can't get free without facing them, and you can't face it without feeling the Great Yucky.
One might even say that the worse you feel, the better progress you're making, though obviously that's a very unpopular idea. Happiness in the nightmare is only possible through repression, and it is thin and shortlived.
