Dreaming of apologizing while crying - dream meaning with inherited lore
Apologizing through tears can reveal not only regret, but also a wish not to lose the relationship or guilt that has not yet been resolved.
You bow your head and apologize to someone while tears fall. The other person says nothing, or you wait anxiously, unsure whether they will accept your apology.
Korean lore: Traditionally, an apology mixed with tears may be seen as a scene of easing old conflicts and bringing a relationship to a close. Rather than deciding how serious the actual wrongdoing was or what will happen next, the dream is more likely to reveal a knot left in your heart from a relationship. (In folk dream interpretation, apologies and tears are treated as an emotional scene that brings together reconciliation, regret, and knots in a relationship.)
Through the mind: There may be something you were unable to apologize for, or you may feel responsible for the other person’s feelings as well. The tears may have appeared not because you were necessarily at fault, but because you wanted to end the conflict quickly.
