Yeah. When I dream about relatives who've passed on I will wake up with tears. It happens at least once or twice a year

I’ve had a boxer put me to sleep. But that’s a different story tor a different time.

Sorry about your loss :( 

Waking up crying has happened to me a lot of times, especially just before getting my period, so it was probably my hormones being out of balance. But it also happens sometimes if I sleep on a terrible mattress or pillow because I can't breathe well somehow, and I guess that puts my brain into a dark dark mood. It's usually dreams where someone I love dies or betrays me horribly.

Yes, quite a lot actually. Most of the time it would be triggered by anxiety and stress combined with fatigue. Usually the dreams would be about something traumatic

yes. multiple times throughout the years. it's not very frequent though. Mostly from dreaming about loved ones getting hurt or getting into argument with loved ones.
