Dreaming of tearing up a photo with someone who betrayed you - dream meaning with inherited lore

You take out a photo of you and the person who betrayed you, smiling together, and tear it up or throw it away. Looking at the pieces, you may feel both relieved and empty.

Korean lore: In traditional dream interpretations, getting rid of a photo has sometimes been read as wanting to let go of a past relationship or memory. If the photo holds a memory of betrayal, it may also be interpreted as a time to look at the relationship again. (In folk dream interpretations, photos often represent memories with people, while putting them away can represent a change in a relationship.)

Through the mind: You may be tired of continually remembering someone who hurt you, or want to sort through those memories so they don’t unsettle your current relationships. Whether you felt relieved or regretful after tearing the photo in your dream may offer a clue to the distance you want now.
