Dreaming of Refusing a Deceased Person’s Call - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, refusing a deceased person’s call has sometimes been seen as a way of keeping your distance from the past and protecting the life you live now.
The deceased person calls for you to come, but you shake your head or step back. You may also leave by closing a door or asking someone else for help.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of refusing a deceased person's call have sometimes been interpreted as scenes of choosing your present life instead of remaining bound to the past. If the fear was strong, they may also be seen as a way of setting emotional boundaries. (Folk dream interpretations have often treated whether you answer the call or step away as a clue to understanding separation and the boundaries of a relationship.)
Through the mind: You may still carry grief or guilt that has not been fully sorted out, while also not wanting to be swept away by those feelings again. Such scenes may appear when you want to step away from your family's or others' expectations and protect your own life.
