Dream of burying a family keepsake at the family burial grounds - dream meaning with inherited lore
Burying a family keepsake at the burial grounds may reflect wanting to hold on to a memory or put old feelings to rest.
You bury something that reminds you of your family, like a photo or ring. Afterward, you may pat the earth down or gaze at it for a long while, feeling reluctant to leave.
Korean lore: Traditionally, burying an object at the family burial ground has sometimes been interpreted as entrusting family memories to the earth or bringing an old matter to a close. The act of burying something alone isn't taken to mean a real parting or misfortune. (This interpretation draws on folk beliefs that see the family burial ground as a place where the memories of ancestors and family are kept.)
Through the mind: You may be holding dear the memories of family while looking for ways to carry them into your life today. Noticing whether you feel sadness or relief as you ask can help you think about what you need now.
