Dreaming of a soul leaving the body - dream meaning with inherited lore

I look down at my body from above, or feel something leave my body and float into the air. Sometimes it feels light and peaceful rather than frightening.

Korean lore: Traditionally, the soul leaving the body has sometimes been interpreted as a sign of wanting change and escape from your current life or roles. If the dream felt peaceful, it may also be seen as laying down a heavy burden. (In folk dream interpretations, the image of the soul leaving the body has been read as a transition in life and a separation from old burdens.)

Through the mind: If you have been tense at work or in a relationship, this may be how a wish to look at yourself from the outside appears in a dream. Rather than signaling real danger, it may reflect a need for rest and emotional distance.
