Dreaming of Seeing a Closed Shrine Gate - dream meaning with inherited lore
A closed shrine gate can sometimes be connected to feelings that it is still difficult to approach family issues or things from the past.
You arrive in front of a shrine, but the gate is firmly shut and you cannot see inside. Even if you knock or try to open it, it may not move easily.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a scene with a closed shrine door has sometimes been interpreted as something related to family matters or ancestors that has not yet come to light. It may also be seen as a dream that turns your attention to a family story you have put off. (In folk dream interpretation, shrines and doors are often read as scenes showing the boundaries and roots of a family.)
Through the mind: You may be thinking about feelings you have not been able to share with your family, or a decision you have put off for a long time. Rather than forcing yourself to reach a conclusion, the dream may reflect quietly looking at what feels burdensome.
