anger

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. Maybe I was losing control. I was in the middle of a dream and something made me really mad. At first it was like I was vibrating. But then as I got angrier, it started to radiate off me, and everything started to burn. It came off me in waves and spread out everywhere. Then, I heard someone say my name from behind me. I turned around and there was a very close friend of mine who had recently died. The anger instantly vanished, and I ran to him, crying telling him how much I missed him, and how happy I was that he finally came to see me. As I hugged him, I woke up.

I was wondering if anyone else experienced such a crazy manifestation of emotions?

Emotions are typically amplified in dreams - hence why you can be terrified of something in a dream and wake up wondering what you were afraid of, or how you can find something gut-bustingly hilarious in a dream and wake up without finding it that funny (both have happened to me on several different occasions). I've even experienced what you described of getting so angry that I start to emanate fire from my body. It can be both amazing and frightening, but there's nothing to worry about if it happens - it's totally normal as your emotions are particularly powerful in dreams.

Actually, now that I think about it, I have had dreams filled with extreme sadness as well. The kind where I wake up and I am crying and thank god it was just a dream, because they usually involve my children. Being a parent can be scary as hell....I live for my kids.:)
