Crying in a dream
Folk tradition reads crying in a dream in reverse: tears in sleep herald relief and joy in waking life.
Old dream books say: whoever cries in a dream will laugh when awake. In folk belief, tears in a dream wash away what has built up, so you wake up lighter. Quiet weeping is read as relief, and crying for joy as a wish fulfilled. If you see someone else crying in your dream, it is said you will be a comfort or support to them. Dreams, people say, often turn over what occupies us by day, so this one too is just a way for the soul to rest.
The most common dreams

Dreaming of crying from happiness
In folk belief, something you have long hoped for is coming true. The dream is counted among the loveliest signs.
Dreaming of someone else crying

Dreaming of comforting a crying child

These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
