Dreaming of a friend crying as they apologize - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may hold both a wish to know whether your friend is sincere and a wish to heal the hurt.
Your friend says they’re sorry through tears. You may comfort them or cry together as complicated feelings rise up.
Korean lore: Traditional interpretations have sometimes read tears and an apology together as a wish for old feelings to ease. Comforting each other may also suggest wanting to repair the relationship. (Folk interpretations sometimes connect tears with emotional release and apologies with tying up loose ends in a relationship.)
Through the mind: Your dream may hold the sincerity you hope for from that friend, or a wish to feel fully understood. Whether you comforted them or kept your distance can also offer a clue to how you feel now.
