Dreaming of a stranger staring at your face - dream meaning with inherited lore

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of unfamiliar people watching you has sometimes been linked to feeling noticed or burdened in relationships. It isn’t taken as proof that someone is really watching you or as a prediction of something ominous. (In folk dream interpretations, gazes and faces are often treated as symbols of being noticed or feeling tension between people.)
