Dreaming of sorting through my belongings before death - dream meaning with inherited lore

With death approaching, you sort through the things in your room, on your desk, or on your phone one by one. You choose what to throw away and what to keep, or give your belongings to someone.

Korean lore: Traditionally, sorting through belongings before death has sometimes been interpreted as putting old worries and ties in order. If you shared the items peacefully, it may also be seen as preparing for a new beginning. (In folk dream interpretations, sorting through luggage and belongings has long been read as putting things in order before change and rearranging relationships.)

Through the mind: You may be thinking about changing the shape of your life through a new job, independence, a move, or a change in a relationship. The dream may also reveal a wish to cut down on what you have to do and focus on what truly matters.
