A Dream of Ghost Fire Behind a Door - dream meaning with inherited lore
This can be seen as a scene symbolizing a worry or story that is right before you but has not yet been faced.
A ghostly light shines faintly through a crack in the closed door or from behind it. It seems as though it will disappear if you open the door, but the moment you grasp the handle, it draws closer.
Korean lore: Traditionally, will-o’-the-wisp fire appearing by a doorway has sometimes been interpreted as an unfamiliar force standing at the boundary between inside and outside. If you could not open the door, it may suggest that you are still putting off a decision. (In folk dream readings, a door and its threshold are read as the boundary where outside affairs and home life, the familiar and the unfamiliar, meet.)
Through the mind: You may have something to say to family or people at work, but feel unable to start the conversation. Whether to open the door is also a choice you can make in real life.
