When you have a particular feeling, emotion, or mood in your dream pay attention to whatever that feeling was because the feelings that we dream about tend to be the same feelings we regularly experience in our waking life. For example, if you dream of feeling joy, chances are you experience a lot of joy in your waking life. If you dream of feeling depression or anger, you likely experience those emotions in your waking life too. Dreaming of a feeling shows you how you tend to feel in your waking life. Examine the context in which you experienced that emotion, what was going on in the dream, and any other dream symbols present. These can provide clues as to what triggers certain emotions and, if the feeling is negative, what you can do to change it.
