Dreaming of counterfeit money sunk underwater - dream meaning with inherited lore
A worry you want to understand clearly may be lying submerged inside you, difficult to look at directly.
Counterfeit money lies on the bottom underwater or appears blurry beneath the surface. You reach in to retrieve it, but can’t get a good hold; it may grow clearer or fade with the changing light on the water.
Korean lore: There isn’t a widely shared traditional interpretation of this scene. We can cautiously read money submerged in water as an image of something hard to see or retrieve, or of a worry kept out of sight. (This is closer to a general symbolic reading of money and water together than to an established folk interpretation.)
Through the mind: You may want to find out something that’s weighing on you, while putting it off because the answer feels like too much. Whether the water was clear or murky, and whether you retrieved the bills, may also connect with how you feel now.
