Dreaming of crying at a shrine - dream meaning with inherited lore

You stand before a shrine or altar, crying without knowing why. You may feel both afraid and reverent, or find yourself growing calm.

Korean lore: In folk belief, a shrine or altar is sometimes seen as a place that reflects wishes and longing. Tears in such a scene have sometimes been interpreted as humbling oneself or releasing pent-up feelings. (Folk-based dream readings have a tradition of interpreting feelings before an altar as longing and emotional release.)

Through the mind: You may want someone to lean on, or be facing a choice that feels too much to handle alone. Think, too, about whether the dream felt peaceful or frightening.
