Just had another last night. I am refering to crying like the emotional release variety we experience in waking life. What do you mean by both kinds? Please tell me.

I didnt know if you had meant the kind where one wakes up actually physically crying or when one is just crying in a dream but not really physically.
i think i cried in one dream. but its not that intense in physical world. i remember waking up with tear in my eyes.

Wow, you can actually wake up crying from a dream! I would imagine that would be a very intense dream. I've had quite a few dreams where I cried in the dream, but none where I woke up crying. In my most recent, I was lost in a foreign country and really afraid for my life with a cell phone that didn't work. I just said in my mind "I need help right now" and out of nowhere a wonderful DC showed up to help me find my way home and gave me a big hug. At that point I started crying, very deeply. Quite an intense dream.

A long time ago I had some dreams which made me wake up with a soggy real life pillow from crying, hence I thought that was what you were probably meaning. Interestingly I didnt thou remember the dreams being that intense.. couldnt really remember them well at all except know I was crying in a dream.
I am not a very emotional person, but in dreams have had very emotional episodes. I think for me more intense than most reality...more like when my dad died in real life...my most emotional moment in my life that I can recall. I have cried hard in dreams. Have also had intense fear and anger/revenge feelings.

Ive been thinking further on my past experiences with this. Maybe I just didnt notice the dreams were intense due to poor dream recall?
To be honest, I've never experienced, or recalled, any dreams with crying, or for that matter, negative emotions. Only emotions I know that I had in a dream before are fear and rage, but that stopped happening a long time ago, and I really can't remember the last dream I was scared/angry in. All my dreams now are either positive/relaxing or just plain weird. I would really want to experience a deep, meaningful emotion like unconditional love in a dream. That's on my to-do list for lucid dreaming.

I've had many dreams where I experienced complete and unconditional love. It's very powerful and is the best feeling ever. Makes you sad you can't have it all the time. Those experiences can make you feel good all day after. They often happen when I am going through a difficult time in my life, or sometimes right before one starts.
I had one where a beautiful DC pointed out something that I was doing wrong in life that's was true and kind of chastised me. Then looked into my eyes and gave me a kiss right after. The intensity of the love was amazing, especially feeling how much care the DC had for me. Really amazing experience and I still remember it clearly.
A few months ago I dreamed my house was broken into, and my wife, daughter and I taken captive. They raped my young daughter. When I awoke I SO wanted to go back (lucid) and kill them...even though it wasnt even my wife or daughter, but a made up family! That is how real the emotions were.

It's just so amazing how real dreams are, emotions included. Every day I wake up in the morning and review what just happened last night in my dream world. It's really like just going over what happened during the waking day, only a LOT more interesting.
Last night I was showing a group of DCs how you levitate. They were completely amazed and I kind was too, not being completely sure I could even do it on demand. Then I was telling them, "O.k. let's get one of those people who claim they can disprove every single paranormal experience and show them, you guys can see I'm levitating right? It's pretty obvious isn't it? We'll show them!" Then I woke up and realized it was just a dream. :oops:

I'm pretty careful my friend, and unconditional love is the thing that I want to experience, even though it has consequences of potentially waking me up. I'm ready for all of that. ;)

This is a very good example of how deep some dreams and their emotions are. Sometimes, I feel like I have another life while dreaming. A life which has a complex structures behind it, and it's just amazing. When I wake up and realize that all of the previous stuff were just a dream, I just gasp.

The only difficult part is when you wake up and it's over :( But then, you can always look forward to the next time :)
Yeah I know that feeling. I'm pretty familiar with it, though from a perspective of normal dreams, and I don't know the actual intensity of the same feeling but in lucid dreams.
I have only experienced it in normal non-lucid dreams so far. Hoping that will change though.
Hello, I have experienced this "crying mod". I can say I have cried a few times so far. Some were really intense that I woke up tears in my eyes and I could feel the wetness all over my pillow. One was about my grandmother who passed away 14 years ago. I hugged her and told her that I really loved her. It was not an intentional lucid dream at all; however it was so relaxing, and a pure explosion of my feelings. The way I cried and letting my sorrow be away could not be done in the real life. It is not an escapism but it is a good way to face the reality and move on. You will remember your dear ones by smiling.

That is so true.
I've had almost the exakt same experience like Silver has. My grandmother passed away 12 years ago, at that time I was only 7 years old so I dont have too many clear memories of her. I think about her alot and really really want to meet her. Recently I found some homerecorded VHS films that I converted to my computer. There were some footage of her and I really studied her movement, bodylanguage and faceexpressions. A couple of nights later I met her in a dream. She had the same dress as she had in the film so I suspect my mind used that to create the dream. It never got lucid but it was still very clear and i remember hugging her and I could really feel it. Thats when I started crying. Somehow I knew it wasnt real and that I would never be able to meet her again, but the dream was so real it really got me and after a while the pacific ocean was pouring out of my eyes. It was a emotional release just as Silver said and it felt very good. I didn't wake up though. But it was a very special and vivid dream

That's a good dream experience on emotions, and I like how the dream carried what you perceived about her in the film to a dream character.
