It happened just last night, all I can remember was I had a very strange and sad dream. In my dreams I was crying and then when I woke up, I really am crying. Does this thing happened to you?

Hi whengcat, Several times it has happened. I believe it was bizarre dreams I was having of sorrow pain in which I was very emotional and upon being startled awake I woke up emotionally tired and began to cry. The few times it was about someone leaving me and I was very sad and emotional about it. Since I have had this type of situation in real life as a child I wonder if my suppressed subconscious thought spill over into my dreams at times.

Maybe they are somehow connected as some say, dreams are our unspoken emotions.

Sometimes that happens without the crying bit, Like i dream that I've done something but i can't recall if it was real or was a dream ...

Yeah, sometimes dreams can feel so realistic that we get ourselves confuse if it did really happened or not.

I had experienced it before. Usually when I met something sad in my dream, then I couldn't help crying. I remember one day I dreamed that my grandma passed away and it really made me sad and I cried. My husband was worried and then woke me up. But I still kept crying even if I already realized it was a dream. I love China

It did happen to me before when i was still in high school. My dream was about some goons chasing me and they wanted to kill me for some reason which i am not aware of. What i remember is that i kept on running until i came to this really secluded place where in there was no way out. I was really afraid and i kept on crying begging them not to kill me. And when one of the goons tried to hit me with a knife on my thigh i screamed and then i woke up, crying and sweating. I guess this really does happen to some, right?

Maybe your dream is what they call a "nightmare" because it's a terrifying one. But what I remembered in my dreams is that I'm very sad and problematic that's why I'm crying.
