A shrinking will-o’-the-wisp - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as something that once captivated you gradually losing its hold, or an uncanny presence fading away.
The will-o’-the-wisp before you grows smaller and dimmer. As its light fades, you may feel relieved or wish it wouldn’t disappear.
Korean lore: 도깨비불이 작아지는 장면에 정해진 전통 해석이 있는 것은 아니에요. 낯선 불빛이 약해지는 모습은 마음을 사로잡던 일이나 걱정이 한풀 꺾이는 쪽으로 보기도 해요. (민간 풀이에서 도깨비불을 사람을 홀리는 낯선 불빛으로 여겨 온 흐름에 기대어 해석해요.)
Through the mind: 최근 크게 느껴졌던 걱정이나 부담이 조금씩 다룰 만해지고 있는지 돌아볼 수 있어요. 반대로 기대하던 일의 열기가 식는 마음이 담겼을 수도 있어요.
