Crying
Tears in dreams often mark the release of something held too long — grief, yes, but also relief, or the exhaustion of pretending. Sometimes the crying belongs to someone else, and you wake wondering what unspoken need in your waking life is asking to be witnessed.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for crying, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of crying, is a forerunner of illusory pleasures, which will subside into gloom, and distressing influences affecting for evil business engagements and domestic affairs.
To see others crying, forbodes unexpected calls for aid from you.
