Dreaming of a Room Filled with Memorial Smoke - dream meaning with inherited lore
A dream where memorial smoke fills a room can be read as a scene where unspoken feelings and burdens have built up within the family or a relationship.
After incense is lit, the smoke does not clear and grows thick inside the room. You may find it hard to see ahead or feel short of breath, while your family appears blurred.
Korean lore: Traditionally, memorial smoke has sometimes been interpreted as energy lingering in the home or a sign of unresolved matters. When the smoke thins or clears, it may be viewed as things beginning to open up. (In folk dream interpretations, incense and smoke have been read in connection with prayer, memories of ancestors, and the atmosphere of the home.)
Through the mind: When unspoken hurt toward family or responsibility for household matters rises all at once, it can create a stifling scene like this. It may help to notice whether you are carrying everyone else’s feelings alone.
