Dreaming of crying while looking at photos - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene where you revisit someone or a time gone by and encounter longing that has not yet been resolved.
You cry while looking at photos in an album or on your phone. You may touch a face in a photo or be unable to look away from one scene for a long time.
Korean lore: Traditionally, crying while looking at photographs has sometimes been interpreted as looking back on past relationships or memories. It may also be seen as a process of acknowledging longing and settling your feelings in the present. (In folk dream interpretations, old photographs and tears are sometimes connected with memories, relationships, and sorting through one’s feelings.)
Through the mind: Something may have happened recently that brought back memories of people or times from the past. Comparing who you are now with who you were then, feelings of regret or gratitude may appear in your dream.
