Dreaming of giving birth while crying - dream meaning with inherited lore

You start to cry as the baby is born. You may not know whether it’s relief or sadness, and you wipe your tears for a while as you hold the baby.

Korean lore: In traditional interpretations of childbirth dreams, giving birth is sometimes linked to new rewards. The meaning of tears varies by interpretation, so it can help to consider what you actually felt in the dream, such as sadness or relief. (This draws on folk interpretations that read childbirth as a new reward, while seeing its meaning differently depending on the feelings in the dream.)

Through the mind: With a new beginning ahead, joy may have come up alongside fear or exhaustion. If you’ve been holding in your feelings lately, the tears in the dream may have let some of them out.
