A Dream About Changing an Adopted Child's Last Name - dream meaning with inherited lore
This scene may invite you to look at a wish to give the relationship a new name and sense of belonging.
While checking documents or family records, you change the child's last name. You may feel relieved, or hesitate over whether changing the original name is right.
Korean lore: Traditionally, changing your name or surname has sometimes been interpreted as a shift in belonging and the direction of your fortune. It may also be seen as finding your place in a new family. (This follows a common folk dream-interpretation tradition that reads changes in names and forms of address as changes in identity or belonging.)
Through the mind: In real life, you may want to define a relationship clearly or be known in a new way, free from the roles of the past. You may also be taking time to rethink what family and belonging mean to you.
