Dreaming of smelling ash - dream meaning with inherited lore
The smell of ash is sometimes read as a moment of sensing again the atmosphere of something past or emotions that have not yet faded.
There is little ash to be seen, but the smell of burning lingers around you. You try to find where it is coming from, or suddenly catch the smell in a familiar place and stop.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a lingering energy like the smell of burning has sometimes been interpreted as the aftereffect of something past or the trace of unsettling news. When the smell is more central than the visible ash, the focus may be placed more on emotions left by the process than on the result. (In folk dream interpretations, burnt traces and smells are sometimes read as the aftereffects left behind by an exhausted relationship or event.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when your mind thinks you have moved on, but your emotions or body still remember what happened. It may also be that an atmosphere reminding you of a certain place or person has recently been stirred up again.
