Dreaming of Throwing Away Books - dream meaning with inherited lore

You take a book you were reading, or one from a bookshelf, and throw it in the trash or leave it on the street. Afterward, you may feel relieved, or regretful, as if you should pick it back up.

Korean lore: Traditionally, throwing away a book has sometimes been interpreted as creating distance from learning or plans from the past. It can also be seen as choosing a new direction and stepping away from familiar ways. (In folk dream interpretations, books are read as symbols of knowledge and records, while throwing them away is given the added meaning of sorting things out and moving on.)

Through the mind: This scene may appear when the ways you’ve done well with so far, or the expectations around you, no longer feel right for you. It may also reflect a wish to reduce your responsibilities and make more room in your mind.
