Dreaming of Crying Underwater - dream meaning with inherited lore
Crying underwater can show both being deeply immersed in your emotions and trying to hold on despite them.
You cry while submerged, but the tears and water blend together until they can’t be told apart. You may hold your breath and rise to the surface, or someone may reach out and pull you up.
Korean lore: Traditionally, crying underwater has sometimes been interpreted as a scene revealing deeply suppressed feelings or a situation that feels too difficult to handle. Rising to the surface may also be seen as a sign of trying to break free from a suffocating emotional current. (In folk dream interpretations, water has long been read as a symbol of emotions and the flow of life, while being submerged represents being swept up in your feelings.)
Through the mind: Such a dream may appear when you keep holding on at work or in a relationship without having room to express your feelings. Your wish for space to breathe or for help may have turned into a call for rescue within the scene.
