Dreaming of Confessing to Cheating - dream meaning with inherited lore

I confess to my partner that I had an affair, or my partner confesses to having one. I feel both guilt and relief, or the silence after the confession goes on for a long time.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of confessing something hidden has sometimes been seen as a process in which old feelings or misunderstandings come out into the open and the relationship is sorted out. It has also been interpreted as a flow toward feeling lighter. (In folk dream interpretations, scenes of confession and revelation are often read as a flow in which hidden matters surface and one tries to untangle the knots in a relationship.)

Through the mind: Rather than actual infidelity, you may be in a state of wanting to talk about feelings you have held alone, such as hurt, guilt, or distance. Even because you want to keep the relationship going, your wish for a more honest conversation may appear in a dream.
