Dreaming of laughing through tears - dream meaning with inherited lore
Laughing while crying may connect to times when many feelings rise at once and are hard to sort through.
Tears stream down as laughter comes from your mouth. It’s hard to tell whether you feel light or heavy, and a strange feeling lingers after you wake.
Korean lore: There's no clear folk reading that assigns a single good-or-bad meaning to a dream where laughter and tears appear together. People have tended to read it differently depending on which feeling was stronger in the dream. (In folk dream readings, laughter and crying may each be interpreted as joy and emotional expression, but the meaning of seeing them together isn't consistent.)
Through the mind: You may have felt happy and hurt, or relieved but still tense. The dream may reflect a sense that it's okay for opposite feelings to exist at the same time.
