A dream where the face on my ID looks old - dream meaning with inherited lore
A face that looks old on an ID can also be read as a dream about examining the gap between how you appear to others and how you truly feel.
You check your ID or employee badge, but only the face in the photo looks unusually old. The difference between your current face and the one in the photo may feel strange.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams in which an object that reveals your status changes have sometimes been connected to changes in your social position or role. An old face may also be seen as experience and responsibility showing on the outside. (In traditional dream interpretation, the face and identification card are read as symbols reflecting your self-image and social role.)
Through the mind: This may appear when you feel that the version of you seen at work or in relationships looks more tired and weighed down than your real self. It may also hold the feeling that taking on responsibility has changed you from who you used to be.
