Dreaming of seeing a butterfly after death - dream meaning with inherited lore

After you die, you see a butterfly fly away or circle nearby. Its colors and movements may stay vivid in your memory.

Korean lore: Traditionally, butterflies have sometimes been interpreted as symbols of change or a light, carefree spirit. Seeing a butterfly after someone’s death may also be seen as a symbol of moving into another form after an ending, but there doesn’t seem to be a widely established folk interpretation for this specific scene. (In folk dream interpretations, butterflies are often read as images of change, though interpretations vary for specific scenes that connect them with death.)

Through the mind: Your dream may reflect a wish to change something about your current self or role. Noticing whether you felt at ease or uneasy when you saw the butterfly may help you see both your hopes and hesitations about change.
