Dreaming that your parents tell you a family member has died - dream meaning with inherited lore
This scene may reflect worry about what might happen to your family, or the tension of waiting for news from home.
Your parents tell you by phone or in person that a family member has died. You may not take in their words at first, or keep asking what happened.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of hearing news of a death haven’t been taken as definite predictions, but have sometimes been linked to major changes or news weighing on your mind. A parent delivering the news may also be seen as reflecting family matters or a sense of responsibility. (This draws on folk interpretations that broadly read news of a death as a symbol of change or news.)
Through the mind: You may be checking in on family often, or feeling that there’s a lot you’re responsible for at home. It may help to reflect on recent conversations with your parents or news you’ve been waiting for.
