Dreaming of running through an empty tunnel - dream meaning with inherited lore

Your footsteps echo loudly through a dark tunnel with no one around. You run without time to look back, then see light at the far exit or make it outside.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of passing through a dark, enclosed place have sometimes been interpreted as moving through a suffocating situation toward a change in circumstances. If you eventually made it outside, it may also be seen as a scene of trying to break free from a blocked flow. (In folk dream interpretations, emerging from darkness into a bright place is sometimes read as a movement toward change and a breakthrough.)

Through the mind: This kind of scene may appear when you have been enduring an uncertain situation for a long time, such as finding a job, changing jobs, or moving. The fear while running and the relief after seeing the exit may invite you to consider whether what you need now is speed or rest.
