My wife said that she had a dream that we had a daughter, and she was very sad when she woke up. I couldn't even imagine losing that much like that.

I have other feelings that follow me. normally heat or cold, but one time I could swear that there was someone standing ten feet away from me in the room, but I couldn't see anyone (you know the feeling of someone else being there, you may not notice it, but you would if you had the feeling when there was no one else around)
Aw, I'm so sorry. I've had a lot of awesome dream-friends, but never one that I missed after waking up. That's a bummer. And I feel your wife's pain. I don't know what it's like to have a kid in real life, but I was such a loving mom in my dream, and my baby was so beautiful that I just wished I had her in real life. Maybe in a few years.

Talking about crying after a dream event happened, I dreamt that my grandma was really weak and she looked like she could pass away any minute. I woke up after the dream ended and cried finding my grandma.
Everyone says I am very emotional, so I guess it does make sense that things would get intense combining my good recall/dream vividness with my emotional "problems." Sorry about your grandma. I know the feeling. Losing people who are important to me is the worst thing ever, even if it's a dream.
