Tears in a dream
Folk tradition reads tears in a dream as the opposite of how they look: as relief and the joy that follows.
In folk belief tears in a dream wash worry away, so the morning after such a dream is considered brighter. Old dream books say tears of joy mean a wish fulfilled, and quiet tears a release after tense days. It also matters who was weeping: another person's tears say you will be a comfort to someone. This dream does not announce sorrow; rather, it is believed that in sleep the heart simply sets down what was hard for it to carry.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of tears of joy
It is read as the fulfillment of something you have long hoped for. It is believed you will soon hear news that makes your heart leap.
Dreaming of wiping someone's tears
In folk belief you will be someone's comfort and support. The dream shows that you have a soft heart and that people know how to value it.
Dreaming of weeping for no reason
It is believed that impressions have piled up inside you and the dream lets them go by itself. Afterwards, they say, the day begins lighter and brighter.
Dreaming of tears on someone else's face
People say someone near you would like you to listen. A kind word is enough, so the dream is read as a call to tenderness.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
