Dreaming of waiting for a coffin - dream meaning with inherited lore
Waiting for a coffin may connect to anticipating a change or waiting for something that hasn’t been resolved yet.
You hear that a coffin is coming and wait in one place, or watch a door or path for it to arrive. The wait may feel long, and everything around you may seem quiet.
Korean lore: There isn't a clear traditional reading for waiting for a coffin, so it's hard to call it a specific good or bad sign. More broadly, it can be connected with waiting for something to end or with a change that's approaching. (Folk readings of waiting for a coffin aren't widely established, so I’ve drawn lightly on the coffin’s general image of closure.)
Through the mind: You may feel unsettled because you're waiting for an outcome, or because something you thought was already over still hasn't been resolved. Thinking about what you seemed to be waiting for may help you find a link to the tension you're feeling now.
