Dreaming of Wiping Away Tears - dream meaning with inherited lore
Rather than trying to erase your sadness, this may reveal a desire to sort through your feelings and move forward.
You wipe the tears from your face with a handkerchief or your hand. Someone may wipe them for you, or the scene may lead to you looking in a mirror afterward.
Korean lore: Traditionally, wiping away tears has sometimes been interpreted as gathering up worries and putting emotions in order. If someone else wiped them for you, it may also be seen as support or comfort coming from those around you. (In folk dream interpretation, washing or wiping the face and tears is sometimes read as sorting through worries and entering a new phase.)
Through the mind: You may want to deal with things realistically rather than keep holding on to painful emotions. Whether you wiped your tears alone or received help may also connect with how you accept support now.
