Dreaming that I put away the food left after an ancestral rite - dream meaning with inherited lore

After the ancestral rite, I transfer the food left on the table into dishes. My family and I clean up together, or I go back and forth to the kitchen alone as I clear the table.

Korean lore: 제사 뒤 음식을 거두고 상을 정리하는 장면은 의례를 잘 마치고 집안의 일을 매듭짓는 모습으로 풀이해 온 경우가 있어요. 그 과정이 수월했는지 버거웠는지도 함께 살펴볼 만해요. (제례를 마친 뒤 음식을 나누고 상을 거두는 생활 풍속에서 유래한 풀이예요.)

Through the mind: 최근 끝내야 할 일이나 가족을 위해 맡은 역할이 많았을 수 있어요. 정리가 끝났을 때 안도했는지 아쉬웠는지 떠올리면 현재의 피로와 바람을 알아차리는 데 도움이 될 수 있어요.
