Dreaming of crying while chopping onions - dream meaning with inherited lore
Tears brought on by onions may connect with wanting to brush off the reason for your feelings, or with a moment when you let yourself cry.
You’re chopping onions in the kitchen, and your eyes sting as tears stream down. You may be unsure whether you’re crying from sadness or the onions, or notice someone nearby laughing.
Korean lore: There aren’t many widely established traditional interpretations of crying in response to an everyday trigger like this. It feels more natural to look at what brought on the tears in the dream and how you felt at the time. (In folk dream interpretation, crying because of an onion hasn’t become a widely established symbol in its own right.)
Through the mind: The dream may have picked up on feeling tired in real life or having irritated eyes. The scene may also reflect a wish to blame the tears on something else rather than face sadness directly.
