Dreaming of drowning and surviving - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reflect a wish to catch your breath after a difficult time, or show the strength it took to keep going.
You sink beneath the water, then make it out or come to without anyone's help. Relief at surviving and fear from nearly drowning may stay with you together.
Korean lore: 물에 빠졌다가 살아나는 장면은 위기를 지나 다시 기운을 얻는 흐름으로 풀이해 온 경우가 있어요. 전통적으로는 막혔던 일이 풀리거나 곤란을 벗어나는 모습으로 보기도 하지만, 현실의 결과를 정해 주는 뜻은 아니에요. (민간 꿈풀이에서 물속의 위기에서 벗어나는 장면을 고비를 넘기는 흐름으로 읽는 경우가 있어요.)
Through the mind: 최근 부담스러운 일을 버텨 왔거나, 이제는 조금 나아질 수 있다는 감각을 바라는 마음이 반영됐을 수 있어요. 꿈에서 혼자 빠져나왔다는 점이 유독 선명했다면 스스로 해낸 일을 떠올려 볼 만해요.
