A dream of a crab guarding its shell - dream meaning with inherited lore

The crab tucks itself inside its shell and firmly blocks the opening with its claws. Even when you come close, it doesn’t come out easily.

Korean lore: 전통적으로는 게의 껍데기를 재산이나 생활의 울타리에 빗대어, 가진 것을 지키려는 흐름으로 풀이해 온 경우가 있어요. 마음을 쉽게 열지 않는 모습으로 보기도 해요. (민간 꿈풀이에서 게의 껍데기와 집게발을 보호와 방어의 이미지로 읽는 흐름을 바탕으로 했어요.)

Through the mind: 요즘 손해를 보지 않으려 조심하거나, 누군가에게 속마음을 보이는 일이 부담스러울 수 있어요. 어떤 경계를 지키고 싶은지 돌아보는 계기가 될 수도 있어요.
