So, if I had a dream and then woke up not recalling several elements of it, it is possible or even likely that my while awake my imagination will attempt to fill in the gaps, whether or not they are accurate at all?

It's not just likely, it's exactly what SHOULD happen in a healthy mind. Even when you are awake, your mind makes assumptions and fills in details that are missing. That is basically the exact thing that going on when you experience deja vu! Your mind is trying to fill in a missing piece of information.
Our minds are excellent at filling in the blanks when our senses don't provide enough information. Although it can be a bit uncomfortable to realize that your mind isn't telling always telling you the complete truth, it's the same for everyone, and it's a really cool thing about human beings.

It's possible. If not, unless you're trying to record your dreams on paper, its nothing to be concerned about. The majority of dreams are not an omen of what is to come but rather the musings of your subconscious mind based almost entirely on your experiences while awake and emotions connected to them. Like watching a scary movie, you may dream something fearful, or you think you love someone and they wont talk to you, you dream about trying so hard to get near the person to talk to them but can't find them in your dream while you are feeling worried or hurt.
