A few years ago, I lost my dog. It was devastating, yet I never really showed too much emotion over him.

Two days pass, and I have a dream about him. It's pretty fuzzy, I didn't have a Dream Journal at the time, but I remember crying heavily in the dream. I woke up, and felt tears on my face.

Fast forward a few weeks. I have another sad dream, where I was also crying heavily. I woke up, and my face was completely dry.

My question to all of this: Can emotions in dreams 'wake up' with you in Waking Life?
