A Dream of the Deceased, Who Was Smiling, Crying - dream meaning with inherited lore

At first, the deceased person smiles brightly, but their expression slowly fades and they begin to cry. You ask why or try to move closer to them.

Korean lore: Traditionally, tears from someone who has passed have sometimes been interpreted as symbols of worry or lingering feelings. Rather than taking them as a prediction of real misfortune, they may also be seen as the dreamer's emotions appearing through a change in expression. (In folk dream interpretation, the expressions and tears of someone who has passed have been treated as clues to feelings such as regret, worry, and longing.)

Through the mind: When you think of them, you may be feeling happiness, guilt, and sadness all at once. A recent anniversary or family conversation may also have stirred those feelings again.
