Dreaming of wiping someone else’s tears - dream meaning with inherited lore

You wipe the tears from their cheeks with a handkerchief or your hand. They may thank you, or simply sit quietly.

Korean lore: Traditionally, wiping away someone else’s tears has sometimes been interpreted as sharing your heart or offering affection in a relationship. You might also think about who the other person was and how you felt as you wiped their tears. (This interpretation draws on folk readings that consider tears and wiping them away in terms of emotional movement and affection between people.)

Through the mind: You might reflect on whether you’ve been putting your own feelings aside while looking after someone else lately. If the person in your dream was a stranger, they may have represented the part of you that wants comfort.
