I woke up crying this morning :(

[warrior queen]

I can't remember what I was dreaming about, but I woke up sobbing with tears streaming down my cheeks.
This has never happened to me before. Never.
I'm still experiencing a level of sadness and melancholy 2 hours later
Strange stuff.

Has this ever happened to any of you?

Perimenopause .

Yes, I couldn't remember either. It's worse than waking up from a nightmare.

yes, several times. and the dream-mood can overshadow an entire day. just because something was in your dream, doesn't mean you didn't experience the trauma of the emotions. of course we know it's just a dream, but . . . it lingers. on the bright side of things, there are those dreams where we wake laughing and really happy and that can last all day too.

mostly i've remembered. can be difficult. makes great fodder for poetry further down the line though.

Yes, and I remembered at the time I woke but not now. Sadly, it lingers and sets the mood for the day. Even though the dreams weren't real, me feeling it was.

Perimenopause .

I've been perimenopausal for a couple of years now, but never to the point of crying for no reason.
I rarely cry at all, so this is a bit wierd for me.

Art from pain, ain't a lie.

Wow! Seems it's not so uncommon.

You're saying there was no reason to cry, but you're forgetting what happened in your dream made it so.

No - I meant I rarely cry at all. Even when someone dies, I tend to grieve inside rather than cry.
The past time I really cried was when my brother passed away..... 17 years ago.

yes, since July it happens a lot but it seems to be slowing down. Until this year I was not aware that you could literally cry for 8 hours straight, awake, asleep, whatever, but you can.

I usually assume it's from Byron but I also lost several other close friends during that time so it could be that. My dad also had a health scare last month and sometimes I have dreams about that.

If I wake up with my hand around Mr. Bear's leg I figure it's Byron.

I rarely cried until this year.

I suppose it could be menopause, you might want to talk to your doctor.

In my case, I think it's pretty clearly grief, my menopause was surgical so I didn't get all the side effects or benefits of natural menopause, except the dry skin, I have that part.

Okay, but we on the board have even noticed a change in you. Maybe a little softening or losing that hardened exterior. I say this only in a complimenting way.

Agreed, wq, maybe it's a release of some kind. Something you couldn't let go while awake. There are chemicals released when we cry that can bring relief from stress. Whatever this was, I wouldn't consider it a bad thing although it might be uncomfortable.

This happened to me a few times when the Bean was going through chemo and rimmy jr was just recently home from the hospital. I never remembered the dreams but I knew what was making me cry.

I've never woken up crying, but I've gotten so pissed off in a dream that it woke me up. I guess my brain went ahead and released all the adrenalin and then my body was like, "SHIT, SUPERSTRENGTH CHEMICAL! GET UP AND PUNCH SOMETHING!"

But I couldn't remember what I was dreaming about, so I bolted awake with all that anger and energy just ready to fight somebody and I was pissed off for half the day because I had to go to work and couldn't find an outlet.

And I actually get really emotional in dreams quite a bit, but I rarely get sad, even in the real world, because of my personality disorder my default negative emotion is anger, which is horrible because it actually effects your body and can make your muscles tense up and even break bones in extreme cases so to avoid it, my therapist reccomended I listen to these meditative trance sleep things. I have a hard time sleeping in headphones but sometimes I'll just turn it on the computer and leave it running. There are probably some on youtube that might help you.

I think that this is one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Sg-uO-66Y&feature=youtu.be&annotation_id=annotation_2449813049&feature=iv&src_vid=lTAwdgf1nZE

It looks like most of them only last a couple of hours tho. So you might want to make a playlist with 3 or 4 of them.
