In everyday life, it usually means asking for help. In dreams, it is mostly a bad omen, often indicating a signal for help, which may come from oneself or from others.
Dreaming of relatives and friends crying out for help signifies that they are suffering from illness, in great pain, or currently in a difficult situation.
Dreaming of a loved one falling into a river and calling for help, but hesitating to rescue them indicates being in a difficult situation or being involved in a conspiracy.
THE END
