A Dream of a Goblin Fire That Follows After You Call Its Name - dream meaning with inherited lore

On a dark road, you hear someone call your name and turn to see a goblin fire. When you start walking, the light follows too, and you hurry along even as you keep looking back.

Korean lore: Traditionally, will-o’-the-wisps have sometimes been described as strange beings that bewitch people and lead them astray. A scene where one follows after its name is called may reflect feeling drawn to, or preoccupied with, an unfamiliar stimulus.
