Dreaming of Catching a Will-o'-the-Wisp - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may be read as trying to examine with your own hands a problem that once seemed impossible to grasp.
In a dark place, you try to grab a flickering will-o'-the-wisp with both hands. The light enters your palms or briefly stops, leaving you wanting to see it through despite how strange it feels.
Korean lore: Traditionally, catching a dokkaebi fire has sometimes been interpreted as trying to grasp an elusive force or opportunity. Because of its nature, it can also be seen as a sign that something in front of you is taking up too much of your heart. (This interpretation comes from folk readings that see dokkaebi fire as something bewitching and an unknown force.)
Through the mind: It may reflect a wish to check directly on an uncertain relationship or an unresolved matter in real life. Alongside it, you may also be feeling that you would rather control things yourself than endure uncertainty.
