Dreaming of crying by the sea - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene of looking at the size of your emotions alone and wanting to set your troubled feelings down somewhere wide and open.
You cry while looking out at the sea or standing close to the waves. Sometimes no one else is around, and the sound of the waves is louder than your sobs.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of crying by the sea has sometimes been interpreted as facing powerful emotions or a major turning point in life. When the waves settle, it may be seen as moving past an emotional hurdle. (In folk dream interpretation, the sea can symbolize the broad flow of fortune and emotional depth, while tears can represent releasing pent-up feelings.)
Through the mind: Work or relationships may have seemed so overwhelming that it was hard to gauge the size of your own emotions. The wide seaside view may reflect a wish to rest for a while without having to play any role.
