The purpose of the present study is to survey the frequency of emotional experience in dream recall. A total of 1267 undergraduate students completed a dream recall frequency questionnaire, which contained a question about dream recall frequency and about recall frequency of thirteen emotions. Results the of the factor analysis showed that those emotions were divided into two groups; positive emotions in dreaming, which involved happiness, hope, joy, and relief and negative emotions, which involved anxiety, disgust, fear, sadness, impatience, and strain. And in contrast to the sleep laboratory study, participants feel their dreams as rather positive - joyful experiences.
