Crying in my sleep? What does it mean?
Sometimes the brain can't tell a dream from reality. Scientifically speaking. It could be some sort of "release" type dream where you need to actually cry to help yourself out in a situation that you are dealing with now. Ya know? Tears are cleansing to the soul. I have awakened to catch myself crying in dreams. Usually, the dream is something I am actually worried that will happen in my real awake life. I don't know what your dream was about so I can't really tell you what I think it all means. But, my grandmother (a full blood native american) would always say, "A bad dream means something good is about to happen." I really don't know. But I think it's natural to wake up with whatever emotion you were feeling in the dream. I hope this helps

Your dream may be a means to restore some emotional stability whilst providing an appropriate outlet for your fears and frustrations.

What does 'cry myself to sleep' idiom mean?
My husband's Best friend accidentally walked in ( I was breast feeding my son in our living room) and he saw my breast. He's known as a huge pervert an will look at anyone's boobs. He made a comment ' I'm gonna cry myself to sleep now' and I took it as rude comment about my breast. Was he being rude or perverted? They're not bad looking (ppl say I have a 'nice boobs') but everyone else is saying that what he meant was that he can't have them or something like that. And I thought he meant like he went blind. What do you think?

Is it normal to cry in your sleep, could it mean something?
To dream that you are crying, signifies a release of negative emotions that is more likely caused by some waking situation rather than the events of the dream itself. Your dream is a way to regain some emotional balance and to safely let out your fears and frustrations. In your daily lives, you tend to ignore, deny, or repress your feelings. But in your dream state, your defense mechanisms are no longer on guard and thus allow for the release of those feelings that you have repressed during the day. To see someone else crying in your dream, may be a projection of your own feelings onto someone else. If you do not cry in your waking life, then seeing someone else cry may be a little easier to deal with then seeing yourself cry. To wake up crying, represents some suppressed hurt or previous trauma that is coming up to the surface. You can no longer suppress these emotions. They need to be dealt with head on. To dream that no one hears or responds to your cries, represents your helplessness, difficulties and frustrations in trying to communicate with others. You feel that your words are falling on deaf ears. Perhaps your dream is telling you to be more vocal and work harder to get your point across.
