Sadness

Sad, Sorrow, Feeling down

Some dreams leave a heavy feeling that lingers after you wake. Sadness in a dream is often a way of working through something you haven't had time to feel during busy days: a loss, a disappointment or simply a change you didn't choose. Nothing bad is being foretold. Letting a feeling surface at night can even leave you lighter in the morning. Notice what the sadness was about, and be kind to yourself if it comes from something real.
