Dreaming of a cat scratching at the door - dream meaning with inherited lore

Inside a house or room, the cat keeps scratching at the door between you. You hesitate over whether to open it, or feel anxious because the sound bothers you.

Korean lore: Traditionally, an animal trying to enter from outside the door has sometimes been interpreted as news from outside or someone approaching a relationship. If you could not open the door, it may be seen as protecting your emotional boundaries. (In folk dream interpretation, the home and door often represent the boundaries of private life, while an animal at the door represents a relationship or news coming from outside.)

Through the mind: A delayed message, an unresolved conflict, or a request you need to answer may keep tugging at your mind. You may also be feeling both a desire to let someone in and a desire to protect your own space.
