Dreaming of Laughing While Crying - dream meaning with inherited lore
A scene of laughing while crying may hold feelings that have been held in and finally spill out all at once, or emotions where joy and hurt overlap.
You laugh even as tears run down your face, making it hard to tell where your feelings belong. You laugh or cry for a long while without knowing whether you are sad or happy.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams where tears and laughter appear together have sometimes been interpreted as a release of pent-up feelings and a change in the texture of a situation. They may also be seen as a flow in which your heart feels lighter after a difficult time. (In folk dream interpretations, when opposite emotions appear in one scene, they have sometimes been read as a shift in feelings and the release of long-held energy.)
Through the mind: If you have been enduring something major while pretending you were fine, your dream may have used laughter and tears together to express your complicated feelings. It may simply be a natural time when those feelings cannot be reduced to just one emotion.
