A Dream of Crying - dream meaning with inherited lore

In the dream, you cry out loud or shed quiet tears. After crying for a long while, your chest may feel a little lighter, or you may still feel close to tears after waking.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of crying yourself have sometimes been interpreted as a sign that something stifling will ease or that your heart is becoming clearer. If you felt relieved after shedding tears, it may also be seen as a sign of positive change. (In folk dream interpretations, one's own tears are sometimes read as washing away what has been building up inside.)

Through the mind: Disappointment, fatigue, or loneliness you had to hold back in daily life may have found a safe outlet in your dream. If you felt at ease after crying, it may feel like a sign that you need time to acknowledge your feelings as you recover.
