Emotions
Sadness
A grief moving through
What it often means
Sadness in dreams is often a feeling that has been waiting for a safe enough place to be felt. The dream offers that place — and the grief tends to move when allowed.
When it tends to appear
- During unprocessed grief
- When a chapter is closing
- When something tender is asking for honour

- 2
Where in life have you been "fine" without actually being fine?
- 3
What kindness could you offer your sadness?
