Dreaming of a deceased person asking for water - dream meaning with inherited lore

Someone who has passed away appears in your dream and asks for water. You may hand them some, or wake before you can, after searching for water somewhere.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a deceased person asking for water or food has sometimes been interpreted as a wish for care and remembrance. Rather than treating it as an ill omen, some connect it with thoughts of the person who has passed. (Drawing on folk rituals and dream interpretations, this scene is sometimes linked to care or longing, based on the custom of offering water and food to those who have passed.)

Through the mind: An anniversary of their passing or a family gathering may be coming up, or you may still feel you didn’t do enough for the person who died. Whether you gave them water in the dream may shape whether you feel regret or comfort.
