Have you wondered why the brain is capable of producing certain emotions only while you sleep? Both positive and negative ones.
Usually these emotions are extremely strong. What would happen if we could feel these emotions while awoken? Would it be good or bad?
The brain is complex and each person is different in genetics, life experiences, environmental factors, and sleep patterns and brain chemistry. In general dreams could express subconscious desires, fantasy, or nightmares from anxiety, PTSD, mental illness.
I noticed at least with myself, if I get into REM with the TV on, occasionally realize the dream I was having was interacting with the TV because your ears don't shut down when you are asleep.
Most dreams are forgotten. I doubt there is a limit of emotions in your dreams only. Your brain is always on, even when you are asleep.
I've had really good dreams and nightmares too. I think that is normal.
