A Dream of Smiling While Shaking Hands with the Deceased - dream meaning with inherited lore

The deceased smiles and reaches out, and you take their hand and shake it. The warmth of their hand or their expression remains vivid, and afterward your heart may feel a little lighter.

Korean lore: Traditionally, shaking hands with a deceased person has sometimes been interpreted as confirming a bond or symbolizing a peaceful farewell. It may also be seen as a scene of sharing goodwill, but it is not taken as a definite sign about the future. (In folk dream interpretation, holding hands is read as confirming a promise or relationship, while the deceased person’s smile is interpreted as a warm energy.)

Through the mind: A scene involving this kind of contact may appear when you want to sort through words or feelings still left between you and the deceased. If you felt greatly relieved after the handshake, it may also reflect giving yourself permission to say that it is okay now.
