Wailing Dream Meaning

Wailing in a dream means feelings stored up inside you are coming out. The grief or anger you get no chance to express while awake takes the form of crying in your sleep. Who is wailing, and in what situation, changes the meaning.

• Wailing alone

  There is some pain you have not told anyone about, and you are carrying it by yourself.

• Wailing in front of other people

  This scene shows a wish to admit your weakness and ask for help.

• Seeing someone you know wailing

  You are worried about that person in real life, and you feel their pain inside you too.

• Feeling lighter after wailing

  Your mind has found its own way to heal.

There is nothing to fear in a dream like this. It is a natural way for the mind to clear itself, something that often has no room to happen in a busy waking life.
