Dreaming of Tears
tears, sobbing · mixed, often a reversed omen
Tears in dreams cut both ways: some readings foresee sorrow, others relief and happiness to come.
What happens in the dream
- You cry out of sympathy: someone is in love with you
- You weep from deep grief: good fortune, even a happier situation, lies ahead
- You're in tears: some sorrow may settle over you
- Others are crying: your troubles affect those around you
- You cry from frustration: a loss, or gossip that hurts your prospects
How you felt
- Sadness: dreams often let out what we hold back by day
- Relief: crying in a dream can mean tension is finally loosening
Ask yourself
- Is there a grief I haven't let myself feel yet?
- What would truly bring me relief right now?
