Dreaming of a Deceased Family Member Leaving Again - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a moment when longing and the feeling of saying goodbye return.
Your family member stays beside you for a while, then walks out the door or off into the distance. You may want to hold on but be unable to follow, or watch their back as they leave for a long time.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a dream about a deceased family member leaving again has sometimes been read as a way of processing parting or accepting time gone by. The meaning may be seen differently depending on whether you felt you were seeing them off or losing them. (In folk dream readings, the image of a family member leaving is sometimes seen as reflecting longing for the relationship and changes in your heart.)
Through the mind: A recent anniversary or family memory may have stirred your grief again. You may also be finding a new way to understand your relationship with that person.
