Dreaming of crying in front of people - dream meaning with inherited lore
Crying in front of others can reflect a conflict between wanting to hide your feelings and wanting someone to notice and understand them.
You suddenly start crying in a crowded place, such as a subway station, street, or gathering. You try to avoid people's eyes, but the tears will not stop, leaving you flustered.
Korean lore: Traditionally, crying openly in front of many people has sometimes been seen as a scene connected to dignity or one's true feelings. It has also been interpreted as hidden emotions finding their way out. (In folk dream interpretations, crying in a public place is often read through dignity, other people's eyes, and the exposure of emotions together.)
Through the mind: You may have been holding your feelings in at work or in social gatherings, or become overly conscious of how others judge you. At the same time, you may wish for someone to notice how difficult things have been for you.
