This morning, I woke up crying. This has never happened before. But once I woke up and opened my eyes, I started to cry, still having those emotions so strong. I’m not sure if many people share their dreams on here, but I guess I thought I might a little bit. I was basically back in a classroom, with a teacher that did make me cry back in eighth grade in real life, but I’ve been graduated for a year now. Anyway, I had a classmate their as well that I knew. I’m not sure if I’m going to say my whole dream since it was quite long. But anyway, later in the dream, I came back in the classroom and I had to explain why I left the classroom earlier, feeling like I had to explain myself and then she asked what was wrong. This is when I started to cry so much I could hardly get out one word, I could hardly breathe. “I just feel like no one understands me. I feel like what others have to say is more important.” I said. She kind of raised her brows in a judging look, and her eyes went elsewhere, avoiding me like she didn’t care to hear this. Then I got myself together and said, “it’s easier for you since you are you, but I was born me. Because it’s me, it’s different, no one wants to understand me.” She just patted my shoulder and kind of smiled and laughed at me, like she thought I was crazy for what I was saying to her. After, it’s like the door had disappeared, and I started looking for an exit, but it was suddenly a fence instead of a wall, and I was crying uncontrollably, walking around trying to find the exit, and I found this small hole in the fence. Before I tried exiting, I said, “I just want to be loved.” That’s when I woke up, and my eyes opened and I just started to cry. Anyway, this is probably a bit too emotional for everyone. It’s funny how emotional a dream can truly be, but i think it’s a good reflection of who I am truly, quite emotional lol. But, anyway, I don’t know who will reply to this since it may have been too long or too odd to reply to. But I do have a question, can anyone dissect this dream a little? I know I’m the one who in the end has to, but I’d like to hear other thoughts.

I don't think I can dissect your dream; I'm no expert, and I do not know you well enough. But I know how emotional dreams can be! I remember waking up crying once – only I was crying with rage, as in the dream, my brother was saying horrible, mean things about my husband. (Injustice is something that hits me harder than anything else.) I found it difficult to get out of that mindspace for a while, I was out of sorts for half of the day. I hope you're feeling better by now!
Hi there! First things first, so that you're not too confused when you return to check your thread: I've moved this to the General Chat section, as the way I read it, isn't specifically about lucid dreaming, but more about dreams and dreaming in general 😊
Secondly, please don't apologise for sharing dreams here! You may have noticed that there's an entire thread dedicated to this here in General Chat (here it is, if you'd like a direct link) -- in other words, dream reports are very welcome!
Your dream does indeed sound quite emotional. I suspect most people will have had similarly emotional dreams, so I don't really think it's very weird at all.
One thing Daniel Love will often say is that strong emotion is a very, very common dream sign, and that, consequently, we should ideally be reality testing whenever we feel a surge of emotions coming. This is definitely easier said than done for a lot of people, I think, though!
There's a great guided meditation for this purpose on Love's Lucid Dream Portal channel on YouTube, though -- I'll link it here in case you haven't tried it before and will find it useful:

When it comes to "dissecting" the dream: I'm no expert on this, but to be honest, I think you're right that the best person to do that is probably you yourself. Perhaps someone else has some useful insight to offer, though. I'll link to anoher video below, for those who may be reading this thread and wondering about the meaning of their dream(s) as well:

The last thing I'll add is that I hope you feel better now! Some dreams can definitely be quite exhausting and emotionally taxing.
Also, I want to write that I was crying a lot in the course of the dream, at one point I could hardly say words and the teacher in the dream was asking me what I was saying. I also felt like it was impossible for anyone to understand how I felt. I felt like I was so alone and almost going crazy because no one wanted to understand and I just felt like I was falling on deaf ears the entire dream. I felt like what I had to say was not as important as other people. anyway it’s interesting how dreams can seem so emotional when you are in them but when you are out of them, they aren’t as much, especially when you try to explain to others, they often think, “what the heck“ lol. Interestingly though, I do find sadness somewhat nice and I wouldn’t mind having another emotional dream like that, it’s interesting to find more out about yourself.
