What does it mean to dream of your dead father crying?

Answer 1

The dreamer should be reassured that the dream comes from within one's own mind and expresses the emotions of the dreamer, NOT the emotions of the person who has passed away. This dream is a good example of projection, which is placing one's own emotions onto a person outside oneself. In this dream, the dreamer's feelings of grief and loss are projected onto the person who has died. The dream suggests an important question for the dreamer to consider: Why doesn't the dreamer want to claim these feelings?

Answer 2

This dream probably illustrates the dreamer's own grief and sorrow over the father's death. It is very common for dreams to take the dreamer's own emotions and "project" them onto the other person.

Answer 3

it means they are in pain over your actions and they need prayers.

A different interpretation:

Dreams of deceased loved ones are a natural part of the grieving process. As your subconscious mind struggles to make sense of your great sense of loss, it also searches for a means to bring the loved one back into your experience, resulting in dreams of the deceased. It is also common for the dreaming mind to "project" your own feelings onto your loved one's image, so that in your dreams that person reflects the same grief that you are experiencing.

> In Western Culture, bloody tears are most often associated with religious icons including statues of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. These weeping statues supposedly express God's grief over the world's sin. Your dream seems to combine your own grief with this sort of religious, iconic grief, so it is possible that you feel a sense of guilt somehow connected with your lost loved one.

> This is a powerful, healing dream from your own subconscious mind (your soul.) It is a clear indication that at a very deep level, you are ready and able to alter your behavior and begin healing your own sense of guilt, grief, and pain. Seen from this perspective, your dream is a very great blessing.

Answer 4

Dreams should almost never be taken literally. The mother in the dream represents an aspect of the dreamer, the inner parent who enforces rules and represents responsibility. Unlike a father in dreams, the mother is a more emotional symbol, appealing to tenderness and nurturing. This dream may indicate that on a deep level, the dreamer has been a disappointment to his/her own self.

Answer 5

This dream places your own grief onto the image of your mother. It does not mean that your mother is unhappy in the next life. It only means that your own mind is struggling to deal with her loss by picturing your own sorrow mirrored in your mother's image.

Answer 6

it means dreaming of a dying, and in death, mourning about what you could, should, or would have done in life.

Answer 7

You are dreaming about yourself. The "someone" is a part of yourself expressing emotions that you do not want to claim as part of you.
