Dreaming of crying in your childhood home - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, crying in an old home has sometimes been understood as a scene of looking back on relationships from the past or feelings held for a long time.
You enter a room or yard from the home where you lived as a child and cry while thinking of your family. You may also shed tears while touching old belongings or looking at spaces that no longer exist.
Korean lore: Traditionally, crying in an old house has sometimes been interpreted as a scene where feelings about family and past connections begin moving again. It may also be seen as a dream of sorting through long-delayed longing or hurt. (In folk dream interpretation, a house often represents family and the foundation of life, while crying is read as the release of emotions left within it.)
Through the mind: When your life has changed from before through independence, a move, or a shift in distance from family, your heart may return to a safe place from the past. It may not mean you want to be a child again, but that you miss the care or familiarity you felt then.
