Dreaming of crying at a funeral - dream meaning with inherited lore
Crying at a funeral can sometimes be understood as a process of sorting through a goodbye or long-held emotions inside.
You sit at a funeral hall or wake and shed tears with the people around you. It may be the funeral of someone you actually know, or a scene of sending off someone whose face is unclear.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of crying at scenes of funerals or death have sometimes been interpreted not as predictions of actual death, but as a process in which a period ends or old worries are sorted through. Crying intensely has also been seen as a scene in which pent-up frustration is released. (In folk dream interpretation, death and crying are sometimes read as symbols in which change and emotional release appear together.)
Through the mind: You may be processing a recent breakup, a change in a relationship, or a goodbye you have put off for a long time. The dream may also reflect a feeling that, although you acted as if you were fine, you now need time to grieve.
