Crying

Cry, Tears, Sobbing

A good cry often brings relief rather than sorrow, and the same is true in dreams. Crying lets out what you've held back during the day: stress, grief, disappointment, sometimes plain happiness. An old saying holds that dreams go by contraries, so a good cry at night was thought to promise laughter ahead. Who was crying, and why, tells you which feeling wants your attention.
