A dream of seeing your own dead body again - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as a scene of change, in which you look at your past self and present self as separate.
After feeling you’ve died, you look at your body lying on the floor or in a room. It may feel strange, as though your body and self have separated, or you may want to go closer and check.
Korean lore: Traditional interpretations sometimes see looking at your own dead body as a way of stepping back from who you were in an earlier period of life. Depending on how you felt as you looked at it, the scene may reflect feeling unfamiliar with change or wanting to put the past in order.

Through the mind: The dream may reflect wanting to move on from an old role or sense of who you are, or still feeling unfamiliar with the person you’ve become lately. It could be a chance to calmly think about what has changed.
