A Dream of a Growing Will-o’-the-Wisp - dream meaning with inherited lore
A scene where a small will-o’-the-wisp suddenly grows may connect to something that first seemed minor but has swelled into something much larger inside you.
A small light in the distance gradually grows right before your eyes. The flames do not reach you, but the surroundings brighten, and the dreamer steps back in surprise.
Korean lore: Traditionally, fire growing larger has sometimes been interpreted as a scene in which energy is becoming stronger. Because it is foxfire, people may also associate it with an unexpected change or a problem becoming too much to handle. (This interpretation combines the folk idea of connecting the size of fire with the force of an event with foxfire's unfamiliar image.)
Through the mind: It may appear when you keep replaying a small mistake or a brief comment and worry that things will grow worse. It may help to separate the size of the actual problem from the size it has taken on in your mind.
