Dreaming of burning a check - dream meaning with inherited lore
You may want to put an end to a burden tied to money or rewards, or feel torn about whether an important choice can be undone.
You set a check alight and watch it turn to ash, or try to put out the fire but see it has already burned. You may feel both relieved and regretful, or one feeling may linger more strongly.
Korean lore: Traditional interpretations treat a check as a symbol of wealth, and sometimes read burning one as money or opportunities being used up, or as putting a relationship behind you. The feeling you had in the dream—relief or regret—can change how the scene reads. (This reflects a common folk interpretation that links burning or getting rid of symbols of wealth with things being used up.)
Through the mind: The dream may carry a wish to decisively let go of a promise or financial burden you're holding onto. At the same time, you may be worried about what you'll lose after making that choice.
Fortune angle: Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as wealth being used up or an opportunity passing by. It doesn't mean you'll actually spend money or suffer a loss.
