Dreaming of parting from an adopted child - dream meaning with inherited lore

You say goodbye to your adopted child, or see them leave for somewhere else. You may be left with a strong feeling that you want to hold on but have to let go, along with guilt or emptiness.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams about parting from an adopted child have sometimes been interpreted as showing a once-close relationship or a change in the form of a responsibility. They may also be seen as a scene of putting a relationship in order or moving into a new stage. (In folk dream interpretations, parting from a child is sometimes read as a scene reflecting changes in a relationship and lingering sadness.)

Through the mind: You may be going through a time when you have to let go of a familiar role, such as changing jobs, living independently, or experiencing a shift in romance. You may still hold both the wish to let go well and the wish to keep that person or role close.
