Personal symbolism

Melancholy can color the whole dream, but notice whose sadness you experience. Feeling it yourself links the emotion to disappointment in plans or undertakings that once seemed favorable. Seeing others in this state points instead to interruptions in practical affairs, while lovers face the specific theme of separation. Consider what seemed promising before the mood shifted, or whose sadness held your attention. The dream may help you name where expectations and circumstances are no longer aligned.
