A Dream of Asking an Ancestor for Forgiveness - dream meaning with inherited lore
Asking for forgiveness may connect with wanting to ease your guilt and repair the relationship.
While the ancestor scolds you, you bow your head or say you’re sorry. You may feel anxious because you can’t tell whether they accept your apology, or lighter after saying it.
Korean lore: There isn’t a clear tradition of interpreting an apology to an ancestor as specifically lucky or unlucky. Folk interpretations have read an ancestor’s scolding as a prompt to reflect on something weighing on you or a reminder, so you might pay attention to the feeling behind the apology. (This interpretation draws on a general folk view of an ancestor’s scolding as a chance for reflection.)
Through the mind: You may still feel sorry about something, or be preparing an apology in your heart that you haven’t been able to say. Before deciding whether to reach out, you could first sort out what you want to express.
