悪い夢でも見たの?って英語でなんて言うの？

A 'nightmare' describes as a bad dream. Nightmares can be particularly frightening and scary. Both nightmare and bad dream mean the same thing, although nightmare would be more appropriate to use if the person was really upset, crying and afraid when they awoke A bad dream could make you a little bit upset or very sad, but a nightmare would terrify you, make you feel sad, frightened and worried.

Explanation: Sentence 1 is a direct question, however comment 2 is a little more subtle and cues the same response as sentence 1. It is not always necessary to ask a question to strike a rapport with someone, and comments are always more casual than questions Example sentence: "It seems you're having a problem sleeping."

A bad, scary or unpleasant dream is often called a 'nightmare' in English. You can use the word nightmare, or you can simply ask if they had a 'bad dream'. Both ways of asking are very common. The phrasal verb to 'cry out' implies sound, rather than the act of crying with tears coming from your eyes. This is an important difference from 'to cry', which implies that there were tears. For example: 'You were crying in your sleep' - (Made sad noises or cried with tears). 'You cried out in your sleep' - (Made a scared or angry noise).

if you want to ask someone if they were doing something then you can say 'were you having' or 'did you have' these refer to the past tense or something that has happened A nightmare is also called a 'bad dream'

For somebody to wake up crying, that person must have had a very sad dream, one in which a terrible thing happened, like a close relative dying. A scary dream may cause the dreamer to scream or cry with fear. People do have bad dreams which can sometimes make them shout out, or even physically throw punches. So, you may say to your spouse who woke up crying: For you to wake up crying, you must have had a scary dream. or It seems you had a nightmare. You woke up crying. or Tell me you had a sad dream because you woke up crying.

Nightmare referred to as a bad dream can also be called a night terror, night terror is a more formal and older way of describing a nightmare. "did you experience an nightmare" a very formal and less casual way of asking if someone had a nightmare.
