A dream of trapping clouds in a bottle - dream meaning with inherited lore

A small bottle holds a cloud as white as cotton. When you close the lid, it swirls softly inside, and you hold it up to take a closer look.

Korean lore: Traditionally, holding or catching clouds has sometimes been read as wanting to keep something you hope for close, or as seizing an opportunity. There’s no clear traditional interpretation of trapping clouds in a bottle, so it helps to consider how the dream felt. (This draws on folk interpretations that read catching clouds as keeping a hope or opportunity close.)

Through the mind: You may have an idea, relationship, or plan you don’t want to lose, and want to keep it safe in your mind. Whether the clouds in the bottle felt comforting or stifling may offer a clue to how you’re feeling now.
