Dreaming of arguing with your parents during an ancestral rite - dream meaning with inherited lore
The scene may reflect something you want to say to your family, or the weight of the role you’ve taken on.
During the ancestral rite, you exchange words with your parents and voices rise. Other family members may be gathered by the offering table, or you may be left alone with your parents to argue.
Korean lore: Traditional interpretations of ancestral rites sometimes read them as a moment to reflect on conflict with elders at home or the wish to show respect. But the argument itself doesn't mean that discord lies ahead. (In folk dream interpretations, ancestral rites have been read as a scene that brings to mind both the family's connection to its ancestors and each person's role in the family.)
Through the mind: A recent conversation with your parents or the role you play in your family may still be on your mind. You might also reflect on whether there's something you want to say but haven't been able to bring up.
