Dream of taking a portrait - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may hold a wish to understand someone more deeply or see yourself in a new way.
Holding your camera, you look closely at one person’s face and expression as you take their picture. Their smile or tension—or the expression on your own face in the photo—may stay with you.
Korean lore: Traditionally, looking at and capturing someone’s face has sometimes been interpreted as taking a fresh look at your connection or relationship with that person. If the photo was clear and comfortable, it may reflect a wish to remember the relationship for a long time. (In folk dream interpretations, faces and people are sometimes read as symbols of social relationships and news about those around you.)
Through the mind: You may want to know how someone close to you really feels, or you may be wondering how you appear to others. Taking someone’s picture can reflect both your wish to observe them and your wish to understand yourself.
