Dreaming of burning paper at a shaman ritual - dream meaning with inherited lore
Burning paper may connect with wanting to let go of feelings you’ve held onto for a long time or bring something to an end.
You place paper or paper money into the fire at the ritual and watch it burn or turn to ash. You may remember whether the flames were bright or only traces were left.
Korean lore: Paper burned in a gut ritual or ceremony has sometimes been interpreted as a way to send one’s feelings or let go of what has passed. It may help to consider what you burned in the dream and how you felt at the time. (This interpretation draws on folk rituals of burning paper to send wishes or feelings, and on the symbolism of letting go of what has passed.)
Through the mind: The dream may carry a recent wish to finish something or let go of a relationship that’s stayed on your mind. How you felt afterward—relieved or regretful—may help you reflect on where you are now.
