Dreaming of Burning Books - dream meaning with inherited lore

A book you were turning through in the dream catches fire, or you place it directly into the flames. Watching the fire may bring relief, but you may also feel regret or unease.

Korean lore: Traditionally, burning books has sometimes been interpreted as a process of organizing past knowledge or records. It may also be seen as a dream about letting go of accumulated thoughts and looking for another path. (This interpretation combines the folk symbolism of books as learning and records with the meanings of fire and burning as cleansing and change.)

Through the mind: You may be showing a wish to let go of old goals, ways of studying, or standards you held onto to earn someone's approval. You might also consider whether you recently wanted to change direction dramatically or did not want to look back at records from the past.
