Dreaming of Crying
In short
What does dreaming of Crying mean?
Dreaming of crying is a sign of release — tears dissolve the crystallizations of the ego, clearing the way for rebirth. Linked to the Moon and Cancer, this dream points toward necessary inner purification, a cathartic discharge of long-held emotional tension. In the Sufi tradition, tears are called the pearls of the soul, and crying in a dream is often profoundly liberating.
Jungian interpretation
Tears dissolve the crystallizations of the ego. Necessary purification before rebirth can take place.
Freudian interpretation
A cathartic discharge of emotional tension. Mourning, or regression toward the unmet needs of childhood.
