Dreaming of wiping away tears - dream meaning with inherited lore

You wipe your tears with a handkerchief or sleeve and compose your face. You may try not to let anyone notice, or wipe your tears before continuing to speak.

Korean lore: Traditionally, wiping away tears has sometimes been interpreted as sorting through past feelings and pulling yourself together. It may also be seen as a moment when you find the strength to move again after crying. (In folk dream interpretations, wiping or washing away tears has sometimes been read as a symbol of settling your emotions and moving into a new phase.)

Through the mind: The difficult situation may not be completely over, but you may now feel ready to handle what needs to be done. Rather than meaning you are suppressing your feelings, it may reflect a process of finding your balance again.
