Dreaming of forcing yourself to drink dirty water - dream meaning with inherited lore

Korean lore: Traditionally, this may be read as taking in bad energy or something burdensome. The meaning of drinking in a dream can vary with how much water there was and how you felt. (In folk dream readings, taking something into your mouth may be seen as letting in an outside matter or energy.)
