A dream of wiping away tears in the mirror - dream meaning with inherited lore

You wipe your tears with your hand or a tissue in front of the mirror and look at your face. After the crying eases, you may notice your expression looks different or your eyes are red.

Korean lore: Wiping away tears can be read as a difficult moment passing or as gathering yourself. There aren’t many set traditional interpretations of also looking in a mirror, so it can be read lightly as a moment of self-reflection. (In folk dream interpretations, crying has been treated as feelings coming to the surface or finding release, and a mirror as a symbol of looking at yourself.)

Through the mind: You may be wondering whether the way you appear to others differs from how you feel when you’re alone. Wiping your tears and looking at your face may hold a wish to get ready to return to everyday life.
