emotions from dreams and other question

has anyone noticed how powerfull emotions can be from dreams? ive noticed it for a while, but i really noticed it last night, first of all i have another question why are my dream awakenings s o frightening? when i was falling asleep yesterday i heard a loud noise and my butt, back and a lil bit of my legs moved up quickly and i was breathing heavily, i wasnt even dreaming yet what is up with that? Also i was haveing a dream my friend matt was being annoying to me and then my other friend was shooting me with an airsoft gun, on the second shot i thought i was choking on it so i was focusing really hard on my breathing and iit woke me up(and it woke me up at 9:11!! that scared me). why is that happening to me. also for a few minutes(like half hour)after i wake up all of those extreme emotions in my dream i still feel when im awake. i woke up in fear and a very strange feeling, that ive never experienced(ive experinced it before in a few dreams, its like…only a emotion that happens in dreams for me…), its the feeling that something happened thats gonna change the way u see someone, or just scare you, and change something forever(one other dream i felt this was when i went to jail for something i didnt do.)and it took me a while after i woke up to remember the dream why(lets just say my sister and dad like looking at a type of magazines in my dream, im just gonna keep it at that).why is all of this?

Who knows…? Dreams are powerful things-- There’s theories like, they help you handle things and sort things you’ve gone through in real life…
Feeling the emotions once you wake up so intensely might be a side affect of this~ If you went through an experience you wouldn’t have gone through otherwise-- maybe that’s why you felt this unknown emotion…

There might be lots of reasons-- I think it’s interesting you went through all of this-- It’s sort of startling in itself, but cool.

I really hope you have more pleasent experiences with these extreme emotions ^^~ But I’ve had that kind of residual sensation after dreams as well…
So at least you’re not the only one!~ XD
