Dreaming of attending my own wake - dream meaning with inherited lore
Going to your own wake to pay your respects may connect with looking back on who you’ve been or sensing a turning point in your life.
You look at the portrait at the wake or at the mourners. Even though it’s your own funeral, you may be paying your respects as if you were standing apart from it all.
Korean lore: Traditionally, watching your own funeral has sometimes been read as an old phase coming to an end and a new one beginning. The meaning can vary depending on how you felt in the dream. (In folk dream interpretation, one’s own death or funeral is sometimes read as a symbol of change and a fresh start.)
