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

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?
