Dreaming of Crying When Seeing Someone Who Has Passed Away - dream meaning with inherited lore

You encounter someone who has passed away or watch them from a distance before crying. It may also appear as reaching out without being able to speak, or crying after they disappear.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of crying after seeing someone who has passed away has sometimes been connected with longing or the process of sorting through a past relationship. Some folk interpretations see it as a scene where something long-held begins to stir inside, but it is difficult to determine future events from a dream alone. (In folk dream interpretations, meeting someone who has passed away is read as a symbol of family relationships and memories, while the tears are understood as an expression of feelings that remain.)

Through the mind: This dream may appear after encountering a recent memorial day or a family story, or when words you never got to say to that person remain in your heart. It may not be only sadness; gratitude, regret, and the wish to see them again may all be mixed together.
