Dreaming of crying at the sound of a temple bell - dream meaning with inherited lore
A sound or message may strike you deeply, bringing up feelings you’ve kept tucked away.
Tears fall as the temple bell rings. As its sound carries on, everything around you may grow quiet, or your heart may feel heavy.
Korean lore: Some folk interpretations read a bell's sound as a symbol that awakens the heart or marks an important moment. A dream of crying at that sound has sometimes been interpreted as a sign of deeply stirred emotions. (Some folk interpretations see a bell's sound as a signal of resonance and change.)
