What does it mean when you wake up crying?

Question:

Is there an old saying about that?

Answers:
I think that when you wake up crying, your subconscious is going through something in your life that might have made you sad, or you had a bad dream; then not remembered it upon waking.

Maybe U R a little bit depressed.

i don't know.
but i did have a dream once where i woke up crying.it wasn't a sad dream or anything and i wasn't crying in the dream.so it was really wierd..
i don't know what it means (if anything)
could just be your body releasing stress or something

No Saying that I am aware of.

If you wake up crying and you can recall having a nightmare or bad dream, that is one explanation.

Should you wake up crying many times without a clear explanation, then perhaps your subconscious is bothering. Perhaps you are suppressing some feelings that make you cry.

If this continues, see your Physician.

Good Luck...Billy

whatever it was that u were dreaming & feeling u bring it up to the surface when u wake up.

you are depressed about somthing that is currently on your mind

I'm not aware of an old saying, and I do not want to be repetitive, so I offer some other advice. do you have trouble sleeping in general? Re-occuring memories of past traumas? do you wake up sweating? Perhaps if these are yes, you may meet some criterion for PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). This may have nothing to do with it, I don't claim to be an expert in sleep disturbances. however I've studied and done research on PTSD. Just a thought.

Good luck!
