Dreaming of bowing repeatedly at a shrine - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may reflect a wish to be there for your family or the pressure of trying to fulfill the role you’ve been given.
After bowing once before the shrine, you lower yourself again and bow several more times. Even when you finish, you may not feel settled, or you may feel you’ve done your best.
Korean lore: Traditionally, making repeated offerings at a shrine has sometimes been interpreted as showing respect for ancestors or wishing for the family’s well-being. You might also consider whether you felt at ease or weighed down after bowing. (In folk rituals for honoring ancestors, repeated bows have long been a way to show respect and devotion.)
Through the mind: You may be feeling pressure to get everything right at home or work. Looking at whether you’ve been trying hard to earn someone’s approval can help you understand what’s on your mind.
