Dreaming of Making a Mistake and Crying - dream meaning with inherited lore

In the dream, you feel that you have ruined something important or harmed someone else. You try to explain yourself or fix things, but the tears come first, and you try to avoid the people around you.

Korean lore: Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as a dream revealing a wish to wash away a mistake and set things right again. If you cleaned up or apologized after crying, it may also be seen as a process of untangling a situation. (In folk dream interpretation, mistakes and tears are sometimes read as a scene of lightening the heart’s burden and correcting something that went wrong.)

Through the mind: You may be repeatedly thinking about a mistake you made recently at work or in a relationship. Your heart may also feel heavy because the standards you set for yourself are higher than the actual size of the problem.
