Dreaming of laughing after crying - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene that continues from a wish to feel lighter again after letting some of your pent-up feelings flow out.
After crying for a long while, you suddenly start laughing. The dream may end with you laughing while making eye contact with someone, or feeling at ease as though the reason for crying has disappeared.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a scene where laughter follows crying has sometimes been interpreted as blocked emotions opening up and the atmosphere changing. It may also be seen as your heart becoming lighter after a difficult period. (In folk dream interpretations, the sudden shift from crying to laughter has sometimes been read as a symbol of emotional change and relief from frustration.)
Through the mind: Even amid recent difficulties, you may still be holding on to small feelings of hope or recovery. After fully feeling your emotions, your wish to reconnect with others may have appeared in the dream as a quick change of mood.
