Dreaming of knocking on a shrine door - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this may be connected to longing for a family you wanted to reach, or to seeking an answer.
You stand before the shrine and knock on the closed door several times. You listen for signs of someone inside, but the door does not open right away.
Korean lore: Traditionally, knocking on a shrine door has sometimes been interpreted as seeking answers about family matters or one’s ancestors. It may also be seen as waiting for something stuck to finally be resolved. (In folk dream interpretation, a shrine and its door are sometimes read as symbols of family roots, relationship boundaries, and channels through which news passes.)
Through the mind: This scene may appear when something you have not been able to tell your family remains with you, or when you still want confirmation. It may also reflect how you currently watch for someone’s reaction while waiting.
