Everyone dreams for between 90 minutes and two hours on average each night. That time spent dreaming is when our true thoughts and fears are exposed, but only for the sake of our own minds.

The good news is that there is a rhyme and reason behind all of our dreams, whether they are magical or terrifying. Every dream we have is an indication of some portion of our lives which we can use to further discover ourselves. These unforgettable dreams are the ones that wake you up as to who you are and what is going on up in your head.

What about the scanerio where you can't stop yourself from crying? Commonly, people truly believe they are physically crying to the point that they are abruptly woken up. Crying in your dream is your brain's way of releasing the emotions that you may be too afraid to share when you are awake.
