Dreaming of taking a family photo after the ancestral rite - dream meaning with inherited lore
A scene of taking a family photo after the ancestral rite may be connected to wanting to preserve scattered relationships together in one place.
After the offering table is cleared, the family gathers in one place for a photo. Some smile and others look awkward, but everyone is aware of this moment they will share.
Korean lore: Traditionally, seeing family members remain together after a memorial rite has sometimes been interpreted as a scene of family unity or continuing ties. It may also be seen as an opportunity to reaffirm a long-standing relationship. (In folk dream interpretation, a family gathering after a memorial rite has traditionally been read as a scene for looking at family unity and the course of relationships.)
Through the mind: A feeling that your family can no longer gather as often as before, or a wish to hold on to the relationship as it is now, may appear in a dream. Hurt and affection may both have been present in the same scene.
