Answer 1

You were probably just having a bad dream, its perfectly normal, just be glad you don't sleep walk in your dreams.

I have screamed in my dream once, now that's embarrassing ^_^

Answer 2

Crying in the dream state generally has the same meaning as crying in daily life. It is a release of negative emotion, frustration, or fear. Due to repression or denial, sometimes people are unable to express their feelings. In the dream state some of our defense mechanisms may relax and an emotional release occurs. Some emotional dreams may be compensatory in nature. Thus, if you never cry in daily life, you may cry in your dreams

Answer 3

It's how you get rid of suppressed emotions.
Maybe something is bothering you you're afraid to face and so your subconscious is trying to tell you to face it -- or it's just a way to get rid of emotions you weren't able to let go of during the day or some other time. The dreams we have are usually an outlet for many things and therefore important.

Answer 4

You're depressed. You need to speak with someone, perhaps your parents or a guidance counselor.

Answer 5

How do you know you are crying if you are really asleep?

Answer 6

if your feeling bad, you even only say SOMETIMES, it probably means you feel bad without knowing

Answer 7

you are sad about something
