Dreaming that I set out food for an ancestral rite in a new home - dream meaning with inherited lore

I set up a table for food for an ancestral rite in one corner of my new home. I look around the unfamiliar room and set out the dishes and food one by one.

Korean lore: Offering food to ancestors in a new home has sometimes been interpreted as a wish for peace in the new household. Depending on the dream, though, it may more strongly reflect a wish to adjust to a new environment. (This interpretation is linked to folk rites in which people prayed for the household’s well-being upon moving into a new home.)
