Dreaming of Your Father Retiring - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may hold feelings about your father’s role becoming smaller and about changes between generations.
Your father packs up at work, says goodbye to his colleagues, and comes home. He may look relieved, while you may feel empty or worried.
Korean lore: Traditionally, stepping away from one’s work has sometimes been interpreted as a process in which the way one carries responsibility changes. It may also be seen as letting go of an old burden. (This interpretation reflects a folk tradition of reading occupation and status in connection with family responsibility and dignity.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when you are thinking about your father growing older or about his financial role, or when you feel unsettled by the possibility of changes in family life. Anxiety about your own job and future may also have appeared as your father’s retirement.
