Dreaming of running into an ex at a holiday gathering - dream meaning with inherited lore

You run into your ex while relatives are gathered for the holiday. You may notice people watching or greeting you, and feel awkward, glad to see them, or both.

Korean lore: Traditionally, seeing someone from your past again has sometimes been read as a lingering relationship or unresolved feelings. A gathering with family may also be seen as a chance to reflect on the people around you and your own feelings. (In folk dream interpretations, seeing someone from your past and gathering with family are often linked to the course of relationships and lingering feelings.)

Through the mind: You may be thinking about how your family sees your relationships, or old memories may have come up while spending a holiday with familiar people. The awkwardness or comfort you felt in the dream may reflect how you feel about your relationships these days.
