Dreaming of wanting to cry but having no tears - dream meaning with inherited lore
Dreaming of wanting to cry but being unable to shed tears may reflect the frustration of feeling emotions without being able to express or release them.
You are clearly sad or heartbroken, but no tears come. You may feel your throat tighten or your chest grow heavy as you swallow your tears.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a scene where no tears come has sometimes been interpreted as worries in your heart that have not yet been released. It may also be seen as meaning that you need time to sort through your feelings. (In folk dream interpretation, the flow and stopping of tears have long been connected with how blocked or released one's feelings are.)
Through the mind: Lately, you may have often been holding back your feelings or pretending that you are fine. If this is a time when you cannot yet clearly say even to yourself what is difficult, it may appear in a stifling scene like this.
