Dreaming of an Ancestor Returning After a Memorial Rite - dream meaning with inherited lore

After the rite, people begin putting things away, and the ancestor comes back into the room. You may look toward the table, surprised or glad to see them.

Korean lore: Traditionally, an ancestor returning after a memorial rite has sometimes been interpreted as a continuation of family memories or reminders. How you take it may depend on what you felt in the dream, such as joy or a sense of burden. (In folk interpretations of ancestral rites, an ancestor’s return is sometimes read as a reflection of feelings or memories tied to the family.)

Through the mind: A family issue you thought was settled may have come back to mind, or there may be something you still want to hear from someone. Whether you felt glad or burdened in the dream can offer a clue to how you feel now.
