Dream of a face reflected in water - dream meaning with inherited lore

You look at your face reflected in a puddle or river, but your appearance changes with every ripple. Your face is visible when the water is still, but quickly becomes distorted when the wind blows.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a face reflected in water has sometimes been interpreted as a reflection of your current state of mind and what lies ahead. Clear, still water may be seen as a sign of your mind settling, while murky water may reflect a state filled with worry. (In folk dream interpretation, water is seen as a symbol of emotions and the flow of life, and a face reflected in it is traditionally read as a scene of looking back at your own state.)

Through the mind: This dream may appear when you judge yourself differently depending on your recent mood and the reactions of people around you. It may be okay to slow down for a moment, remembering that what you feel now is not all of who you are.
