First time I ever cried in a dream

This dream was very emotional for me:

I have recently been having a lot of troubles with depression and pent up anger leading to actual physical pain from the stress... the night before last I was in a very strange dream:

I was in a car which wasn't moving, it was black outside the vehicle, absolutely nothing was outside, but I wasn't afraid or anything like that. I was sitting in the passenger's seat having a conversation with the driver, the DC was asking very probing questions about my anguish which led me into a discussion about my mother, my friends, my current situation in life, and my past... as I was speaking to this person I felt a massive surge of sadness and started to cry (weep uncontrollably, actually) for no reason other than I had to let it out, I cried for what seemed like hours and talked about anything I felt sad or angry about while doing so.

There was very little response from the driver once I actually started bauling and it didn't matter, I just kept talking... the driver was faceless, I don't think I even looked over at him/her and the dream ended before I was even finished talking.

What does this mean? I haven't been able to cry in real life in a long time, even when I felt like crying I physically can't, it's all bottled up.

It sounds like your just working out some personal issues in your dreams. That's part of what they are for. How did you feel when you woke up, Better?

I've cried in dreams a few times. Usually when something bad happens to family members or my dog.(which is family too.)

And during a relationship that turned really bad once.

Yah, I've cried in a dream once. Dreamt my dad died, rather sad.... I think this dream had meaning to it though, maybe I should treat him more like a father than just "That guy".

It sounds like you found the perfect person wo could listen, ask all the right questions, and not judge when you open up. I think we could all benefit from knowing such a person, in real life or dreams.

yea its probably just all that bottled up 'crying' released in your dreams

dont be afraid to be emotional, just let it out
