Dreaming of Crying in Front of Dad - dream meaning with inherited lore

You try to explain something to your dad, but your throat tightens and tears begin to fall. You may cry in front of his stern expression, or cry even harder when he responds with unexpected tenderness.

Korean lore: Traditionally, tears in front of one's father have sometimes been viewed as a scene of opening up to an authority figure or lightening the weight of family matters. It is not interpreted as meaning that approval or criticism has been decided in reality. (In folk dream interpretations, the father is sometimes linked to responsibility and standards, while tears are connected to feelings that have been held down.)

Through the mind: You may be feeling more pressure to do well at work or at home, or there may be something you want to hear from your dad but cannot easily say. The scene may also have been shaped more by your inner standards and self-criticism than by your actual relationship with your dad.
