A Dream About Being Hit in the Face - dream meaning with inherited lore

In the dream, someone hits your face or suddenly slaps you. The pain and shock may feel intense, or you may not be sure who hit you.

Korean lore: Traditionally, being struck in the face has sometimes been interpreted as losing face or experiencing conflict in a relationship. Still, the intensity of a dream scene may be viewed not as a sign deciding what will happen in reality, but as an expression of inner discomfort. (In folk dream interpretations, the face represents dignity and how you appear to others, while being struck is used as a metaphor for conflict and shame.)

Through the mind: You may recently have felt ignored by someone or treated unfairly. If you have been holding back your anger instead of expressing it, it may appear in a dream as being struck in the face.
