Dreaming of a stranger crying - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene where you notice feelings you haven’t yet put into words, or difficulties around you.
You see someone you don’t know shedding tears. You may speak to them and offer comfort, or watch from a distance, wondering who they are.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a stranger’s tears have sometimes been interpreted in connection with emotions you encounter around you or how you feel about unfamiliar situations. The interpretation can vary depending on who the person seemed to be and the mood of the dream. (In folk dream interpretations, scenes with strangers are often considered in connection with new relationships or unfamiliar situations.)
Through the mind: Feelings you’ve usually kept inside may have appeared as a stranger, or you may be carrying concern for someone else’s hardship. Try to remember how you felt toward that person in the dream.
