Dream interpretation

Crying in a dream means an emotion you have kept inside is finally finding a way out. Pain that is hard to say or admit while you are awake comes out as tears in your sleep, and this dream shows up more often when, for some reason, you have had no chance to unburden yourself. The way you cry changes the color of the dream.

  • Sobbing hard

    Grief held back for a long time is now breaking through like water over a dam.

  • Tears rolling down quietly

    This hints at a loneliness somewhere inside you.

  • Crying while trying to comfort someone

    Other people's pain touches you too, and this scene shows how compassionate you are.

  • Seeing someone else cry

    A quiet worry about that person is at work in your mind.

  • Crying with joy

    This is not a rare dream, and these tears carry no message of sorrow. They usually come from the relief of a long wait finally ending.

If you feel lighter in the dream once the crying stops, your mind has set down a burden on its own.
