What Causes Knee Dislocation In Sleep?

This has been the third or fourth time since August 2014 that my kneecap and slipped out of place or dislocated while I m sleeping. Usually it s just when I turn to my side from another position. And it s only my right knee. I have no prior injuries or surgeries. Is this normal or bad?
