Cry dream meaning is explained below using 5 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Dream Explanations - Anonymous

Dreams of crying symbolize that you are healing, grieving, cleansing, and releasing that which no longer supports you, as you make room for that which does support you. Consider that this might be a cry for help and that you would be wise to seek support to help you through this challenge you are going through. Keep in mind that you can’t heal what you can’t feel.
