A Dream of the Deceased Disappearing as You Approach - dream meaning with inherited lore

You spot the deceased in the distance and walk closer. Just as you reach out or try to call their name, they disappear, leaving only a quiet, empty place.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming that the deceased disappears before your eyes has sometimes been interpreted as the process of parting emotions rising again and then settling. Rather than deciding that it means you are forgetting them, it can also be seen as your heart trying to keep their memory in its own way. (In folk dream interpretations, appearing and disappearing are read as symbols of meeting and parting, while the changing relationship with the deceased in your heart is also considered.)

Through the mind: Something may have happened recently that brought the deceased back to mind, or you may be at a time when you are beginning to loosen your hold on emotions you have carried for a long while. It is okay if you feel that your longing to see them was expressed through the scene of their disappearance.
