A dream about looking at a face in the water - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may come up when you want to quiet your thoughts and take a look at yourself.
You lean close to look at a face reflected on or beneath the water. When the water ripples, the face distorts or blurs; when it settles, the image grows clear again.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a face reflected in water is sometimes interpreted as a moment of looking at your own feelings or circumstances. Some interpretations also look to whether the water was clear or murky to understand whether your feelings seemed clear or unsettled. (In folk dream interpretations, people sometimes look at the state of the water and its reflection to make sense of how feelings are moving.)
Through the mind: You may want to take another look at a recent choice or at how you’ve been acting. If ripples made your face look unsteady, you may feel that things haven’t settled enough for you to understand your own feelings.
