hello
talking about normal dreams here, not lucid ones. i didn't control this dream but i can always remember what i dream when i wake up.
something really nice happened with me last night... a normal night i was sleeping and had a dream... when i woke up i had the sensation of being in love!!! eh eh eh
not only i was in love but i was "being loved in return", there's a big difference between "you loving someone" and "you loving someone and that person also loves you", you know how it feels... like if everything in your life is okay, the world is perfect, etc nothing else matters to you, and i had that feeing all day eh eh of course that after some time(hours?) i lost it.
but it was so nice to wake up like that, i really was in love!
as i said the dream was normal! all i can remember is that i saw someone (i don't recall the face!) and then i had that feeling of caring for that person errr you know... being in love! and that person also looked at me and i remember that the way that person looked at me i could feel love and stuff like that, like when you look at someone's eyes and you don't need words to say what you/they feel
in one phrase: i falled in love in a dream.
(i must say that i don't have any relationship now, didn't end up recently and also don't have plans to have one, eh eh single and happy)
i didn't pay much attention to this dream, it was just nice to wake up like that, of course that im not here trying to say that i did fall in love bla bla bla. it's just a dream eh eh! i'm just sharing this with you to ask if someone else had "feelings" that were born in dreams.
Piers Anthony calls them daydreams -- brought by daymares! :smile:
For me it is not unusual to have emotions attached to dreams. My flying dreams (sadly rare these days) bring tremendously joyous feelings. And, of course, the occasional bad dream will leave me depressed, frightened, or whatever emotion attaches to it.
It sounds lovely (no pun intended!); I hope you have many more!
I usually have whatever emotions are supposed to be attached to a dream- but a few years ago I had a dream that would have been emotionally devastating if it had really happened. However, in it I had absolutely no feelings whatsoever. In fact, when I woke up they took a while to come back and I felt the grief that would have gone in the dream.
Any logical explanations?
I had a similar experience,
and the good feeling stayed around me for a day or two ...
I had this experience only 2 or 3 times in my life.
I made a post about it (http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18596&highlight=real) once.

I also remember these dreams more easily, and sometimes I wake up from them with a great satisfied feeling (as if I had an encounter with a friend) or with a puzzled feeling ( because I sometimes feel as if i know these dream entities, but I can rarely determine who they remind me of).
Is this the same kind of experience you are referring to ?
( I know you remember less than me, but the basic elements
seem to be present... )
And I am referring to a "friend" here, but it felt more like
being in love... I was kind of disappointed when I didn't dream
of the same person again, and I was also kind of disappointed
when the 'good feeling' wore off...

I loved that book about the Nightmares and the Day mares by Piers Anthony!
I just can't remember the name of it right now but it was a really great book.
Residual emotions after a dream rather common. Love it seems to be the one that people get the most or rather that they note it more because it is felt so much stronger.
I have had some horrific nightmares where I have felt nothing whatsoever, and had dreams that weren't so visually bad, yet I felt very strong grief- so much I cried for a while after waking, not even knowning why. It seems to me in dreams my emotions get displaced. Yet in my waking consciousness I'm very much in touch with my emotions. Maybe my subconscious needs therapy! :confused:
I once broke up with my girlfriend (currently my wife) because of a dream. I went to sleep and in my dream, I met a complete stranger but it was love at first sight. I mean LOVE, so powerful, it was something I had never even came close to experienceing before. I really understood what it meant to meet your soul-mate. When I woke up, I felt like my relationship was empty because I didn't get that feeling from my girlfriend (things were kind of rocky at the time anyways). But I just felt depressed that I couldn't feel that type of love in my real life.
I also feel anger in my dreams. Love and anger are the 2 strongest emotions in my dreams.
