Dreaming of Weeping

weeping, sobbing · mixed

Weeping in a dream signals family trouble, but seeing others weep means reunion, and one tradition reads it as joy.

What happens in the dream

  • Others weep: a happy reunion after a period of estrangement
  • You weep: bad news and family upset; by another reading, the opposite, joy and good cheer
  • If you are in a relationship: quarrels that will only be settled through give and take
  • If you are in trade: temporary discouragement and setbacks

How you felt

  • Sorrow: the dream may let out grief you've been holding in
  • Relief: weeping in a dream sometimes reflects tension letting go

Ask yourself

  • What sorrow haven't I voiced yet?
  • Who would I like to make up with?
