Dreaming of Crying - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, seeing tears run down a face has sometimes been viewed as pent-up feelings being released or things beginning to work out.
Tears run down your face, or you find yourself facing a tear-streaked face. You may feel sad, yet still be left feeling a little lighter after crying.
Korean lore: Traditionally, tears shed in a dream have sometimes been interpreted as a sign that blocked emotions are being released. They may also be seen as a scene where a misunderstanding or someone’s true feelings come to light. (In folk dream interpretations, tears often symbolize the release and transformation of emotions rather than sadness itself.)
Through the mind: The hurt or exhaustion you have been holding in may have appeared in sleep as a scene of a face and tears. It may be less about truly wanting to cry and more about wanting to set your feelings down somewhere safe.
