A dream of pressing an unresponsive button - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this scene has sometimes been interpreted as reflecting a time when things do not go as planned, no matter how hard you try to move forward.
You press the button repeatedly with your finger, but there is no response—no light, no sound. You keep pressing, feeling frustrated or anxious.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a button that will not move has sometimes been interpreted as a sign of blocked matters or a relationship that will not easily come unstuck. It may also be viewed as a time to examine what is truly holding things up instead of rushing. (This interpretation comes from a folk-dream tradition that reads clothing and fastenings as metaphors for putting things in order and setting boundaries in relationships.)
Through the mind: It may reflect the frustration of sending requests in real life and receiving no answer, or seeing little change despite your efforts. Repeatedly pressing something may also appear when your desire to stay in control has grown stronger.
