Dreaming of being buried - dream meaning with inherited lore
The feeling of being weighed down by unspoken emotions or a stifling situation may appear in your dream as being buried.
You enter a coffin or the ground, and someone covers you with soil or holds a funeral nearby. A dark, suffocating feeling may remain strongly.
Korean lore: Traditionally, being buried has sometimes been interpreted as finishing something that has dragged on and moving into a new state. It may also be seen as a sign of being weighed down by difficult circumstances, but the heaviness of the scene should not be taken as a definite prediction about the future. (In folk dream interpretation, burial and graves are sometimes read as the end of one period and the boundary of change.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when work, family expectations, or the need to watch your step in a relationship makes you feel as though your choices have been buried. It may be less a sign that you need rest than a reflection of your need for space and a voice of your own.
