Facial Expressions on DC's

I've noticed in tons of dreams, lucid and non-lucid, where my DC's make intense faces at me. I mostly see them glare at me or look disappointed, but all the faces they make are usually very intense.
The faces they make catch me off guard so often. It makes me look at them longer and observe them and check myself. It's very strange.
But I must say I feel like it's the same couple of DC's that look disappointed and all the rest just look pissed at me.

It actually made me pay more attention to how people IRL react to me. I've been wondering maybe if it's because people are more often to make negative faces toward me, but I don't see a connection. Maybe it's because I'm paranoid of people and I expect those reactions? Idk.
What do you guys think? Does something similar happen to you?

I think you're paranoid or insecure. Not that I've noticed.

The emotional part of the brain during dreaming is very active, which may result in your characters having overly emotional responses or you just interpreting it that way. If you're paranoid of people in waking then I could see this playing a big role in dreaming, because your emotions can control the responses of the characters.

Maybe that could be a dream sign for you if you feel like it's something very noticeable. If the emotion is too strong or in the wrong context, it could trigger lucidity.

agreed fuzzman, our emotional state and emotional reactivity affect how we perceive emotion in others - think of all the research that's been done with photos of ambiguous facial expressions and so on. Given how hyperactive the emotional parts of the brain are, we attribute heightened emotional significance to lots of things, even where we wouldnt in real life. But definitely should be used as a dream sign - and if it makes you more attentive to others, its a good RC too. Just dont stare at people too long :)
I reckon a good test would be to see if you can make those DCs change their expression. Try making them laugh. That should trigger your lucidity, or if already lucid, its a good exercise of your control
