A Dream of a Will-o'-the-Wisp Turning You Around - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may capture a wish to find your bearings in a confusing situation, or the feeling of coming across an unexpected clue.
You follow a will-o'-the-wisp onto an unfamiliar path, then it suddenly turns toward a road you know. You follow it, feeling relieved or still cautious.
Korean lore: Stories often say that will-o’-the-wisps lure people off course. A scene where they help someone find the way again goes against that image, so it’s hard to find a single traditional meaning for it. (This can be seen as the opposite of folk tales where will-o’-the-wisps confuse people about the way.)
Through the mind: The dream may reflect a worry that you chose the wrong path, along with a sense that you can set things right again. Consider whether there’s something you’d like to redirect these days, or a time you received help.
