Dreaming of a deceased friend returning from far away - dream meaning with inherited lore

A friend you haven't seen in a long time returns from far away, and you meet again. You may hug them or ask how they've been, happy to see them, or be startled and wonder if they've really come back.

Korean lore: Traditionally, someone returning after a long absence has sometimes been interpreted as a bond you thought had ended or a forgotten memory coming back to mind. A deceased friend’s return may also be seen as longing briefly taking the form of a reunion in a dream. (In folk dream interpretations, meeting a deceased person again is often read as a moment of revisiting longing and memories of your bond.)

Through the mind: An anniversary, a familiar place, or changes in your life lately may have brought your friend to mind. If you felt glad to see them but still felt a pang of sadness, you might take your time reflecting on what you wish you could tell them.
