Dreaming your employee ID has a different photo - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may appear when you feel a gap between how you look at work and who you really are.
You check your ID photo and find an unfamiliar face or a completely different person's photo. Worried that your coworkers will notice, you cover it up or try to get a new one issued.
Korean lore: Traditionally, scenes in which a face or appearance changes have been seen as changes in reputation or public image. A different photo on an employee ID has sometimes been interpreted as a dream about one’s identity at work becoming unsettled. (In folk dream interpretation, the face and portrait are sometimes read as marks representing a person’s name and reputation.)
Through the mind: You may be concerned about how people will see you on a new team or in a new role. The photo in the dream may reflect a mismatch between wanting to make a good impression and wanting to feel at ease.
