The general meaning of this dream is that the bad period you are currently in will soon become just a memory.
A new phase of life is ahead of you, bringing much joy and happiness.
The interpretation of such dreams depends on the context in which they occur, as well as the details and feelings accompanying them.
Most often, these dreams are accompanied by feelings of sadness, loneliness, and even fear. Less frequently, they are accompanied by a feeling of relief.
Wailing for your father
When you dream of wailing for your father, it means you are unsure if you are on the right path regarding your job.
You are currently burdened by many problems, and you probably worry often about your own existence, as well as the existence of those who depend on you.
You are not satisfied with your working conditions or the salary you receive, but at this moment, you don’t have the luxury of quitting and thus relieving the stress.
Before you completely fall into despair and leave your current job, or let stress jeopardize your health, ask yourself if you have done absolutely everything in your power to make your life better.
Don’t let fear cause you to miss opportunities that arise, because you might regret it later.
Wailing for your mother
If you dream of wailing for your mother, it implies that you lack a true friend in your life.
Many things trouble you, but you have no one to confide in.
You fear that someone might exploit your moment of weakness, as this has often happened to you in the past.
Due to bad experiences, you have stopped trusting people, but there is surely someone in your close circle who wishes you well, so don’t hesitate to ask him/her for advice.
If you completely close yourself off from people, you will eventually harm your mental health.
Wailing for your partner
If you dream of wailing for your partner, it means you are unsure if you are ready to make important changes in your emotional life.
Although you desire a stable relationship/marriage, you often clash with your partner because you both lack the willingness to compromise.
Each holds their ground and has no intention of yielding.
This isn’t a sign that you no longer love each other, but rather that you care too much about “seeing your own point through to the end.”
If you don’t change something in your relationship, it’s very likely that your relationship/marriage will not have a bright future.
Wailing for your child
This dream indicates a lack of self-confidence.
If you have children, you probably often wonder if you are making mistakes in their upbringing.
You worry about what future awaits them and whether you have done absolutely everything necessary to make their childhood and youth as carefree and beautiful as possible.
In doing so, you have allowed yourself to spoil them too much and run the risk that they won’t be ready for independence when the time comes.
These are the eternal dilemmas of all parents, and in that respect, you are no different from others.
Try to build a proper relationship with your children, but don’t let their ability to manipulate “seduce” you, leading you to realize too late that you haven’t prepared them for the many hardships and problems life brings.
If a person without children has such a dream, their subconscious is probably telling them it’s time for offspring or that deep down they regret not having them.
Wailing for a friend
If you dream of wailing for a friend, it implies that you resent him/her for something.
It’s possible that some of his/her actions offended or disappointed you, or that he/she wasn’t there for you when you needed it most.
Before you accuse him/her of not being a good friend, ask yourself if his/her reasons for it were justified or not.
It would be best if you tried to put yourself in his/her position and ask yourself how you would have acted in that situation.
Wailing over your fate
If you dream of wailing over your fate, it’s a warning to stop feeling sorry for yourself and finally start working on making your life better and more fulfilling.
Until now, you have blamed others for all your failures and accused “evil cosmic forces” for everything bad that happened to you.
However, much of it depended precisely on you.
Think about whether you did absolutely everything in your power each time, or if you too often gave up on everything because you lacked the strength and courage to face it.
Wailing over the past
When you dream of wailing over your own past, it’s a sign that you need to stop doing that in your waking life as soon as possible.
You are so focused on something bad that happened to you earlier that you completely neglect the present and don’t think about the future.
As long as you are “stuck” in that vortex of memories, you won’t be able to move forward.
It’s time to accept the fact that you couldn’t influence some things and forget about it as soon as possible.
Turn your attention to what is happening now and make a plan for how you want your life to look in the future.
You might not manage to achieve everything you want, but your life will gain a completely new, better meaning.
Dreaming of listening to someone wail
If you dream of listening to your parents, partner, or friends wailing about something, it means you are worried about them.
Perhaps they are hiding some important information from you so as not to hurt or scare you.
You are aware that something is happening, but you just can’t figure out what it is.
No matter how hard you try to find out, they certainly won’t tell you yet.
Stop pressuring them and patiently wait for them to tell you themselves.
A dream in which you listen to an unknown person wailing indicates that you will get the opportunity to help a larger number of people and will ask for nothing in return.
It has always been your dream to do something humanitarian, and now you will get the chance.
Your knowledge, skills, or simply goodwill will help those who need help the most.
You will realize how much such things make you happy, so you will respond more often to calls for humanitarian actions.
Dreaming of wailing for a deceased person
Wailing for a deceased person in a dream can be a sign that something in the near future will remind you of him or her.
It could be an event, a moment, or even a specific person.
In any case, you will remember the beautiful moments you spent with the man or woman who is no longer among the living.
Dreaming of others wailing for a deceased person
This dream indicates that you will console someone in vain.
It’s possible that a friend, colleague, or acquaintance will complain to you about a certain problem.
You will try to help him/her, however, you will quickly realize that he or she doesn’t want to listen to your suggestions, but just needs to vent, thinking it will make him/her feel better.
Dreaming of wailing because of work
When you dream of wailing because of work, it’s a clear sign that you cannot get rid of the stress it causes.
You probably bring difficult moments from the workplace home with you, thinking there too about everything that happened during the workday.
If you continue like this, you will jeopardize your health.
Your job is not your life, but just a way to achieve something you want!
Dreaming of others wailing because of work
If you dreamed that someone is wailing because of work, it implies that you will get tired of listening to a person who only makes excuses for their own laziness.
Namely, you are aware that he or she does nothing to change anything in his or her life.
That’s why you’ve given up trying to console him/her or help him/her solve some problems.
Dreaming of wailing because of money
Wailing because of money in a dream indicates that you are worried about the future.
Maybe things aren’t unfolding as you imagined.
Another possibility is that you are not earning enough to live on.
In any case, something has to change.
Change jobs, find an additional, part-time job, or something else so that the upcoming period is more relaxed for you.
Dreaming of others wailing because of money
If you dreamed that someone is wailing because of money, it implies that your tolerance or kindness will be tested.
It’s possible you helped someone, and he or she is asking for even more from you.
Now you are surely wondering if you should have helped him/her out the first time.
Dreaming of wailing over what you have lost
Wailing in a dream over something you have lost means you are living in the past.
Some event or person has completely thrown you off track.
You still can’t find your bearings, so it’s important not to make big decisions until you overcome this.
Perhaps it’s best to rip off that “band-aid” abruptly so you can finally move on.
Dreaming of others wailing over what they have lost
This dream indicates that you are worried about a close person.
Probably a family member or one of your friends is going through a crisis, and you don’t know how to help him/her.
If you provide him/her with love, support, and protection, you shouldn’t worry.
Dreaming of wailing over something you don’t have
If you dreamed of wailing over something you don’t have, it implies that it’s time for changes.
Some things need to be cleared up, and some problems need to be solved.
Time is not your ally, but your enemy!
The sooner you tackle it, the sooner some pieces will fall into place in a way that suits you.
Dreaming of others wailing over something they don’t have
When you dream that someone is wailing over something they don’t have, it means you should distance yourself from people whose company doesn’t suit you.
If you recently wailed or complained about something to someone, the dream is not interpreted because you transferred it from waking life to the dream. The same applies if someone wailed or complained to you.
