Crying in a Dream

Crying in a dream often differs greatly from its outward form; interpreters most distinguish between crying with a raised voice and wailing, and weeping in humility.

General meaning

Humble weeping, without voice or wailing, is often read as relief, joy and the lifting of worry — so its end is good.

By state

• Tears without crying out: approaching joy, or a descending mercy.
• Crying with a raised voice, wailing and lament: worry or something disliked, as the context suggests.
• Weeping from the fear of Allah: good and uprightness in faith.

Context changes the meaning

The manner of the crying and its cause in the dream are what tip the meaning.

And Allah knows best.
