A Dream of a Goblin Fire Leading You to a Well - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this scene is sometimes read as holding both enchantment and curiosity about what’s hidden.
The will-o’-the-wisp moves ahead, leading you to an old well or waterside. You hesitate over whether to look inside the well, then seem to glimpse another light beneath the water.
Korean lore: Traditionally, will-o’-the-wisps have sometimes been interpreted through stories of them bewitching people and leading them somewhere unfamiliar. A scene of heading toward a place as deep and unknowable as a well may reflect both curiosity and caution about something you haven’t yet looked into. (This reading draws on folk symbolism where the bewitching will-o’-the-wisp meets the deep, unknowable image of a well.)
Through the mind: There may be something you want an answer to but are a little afraid to look into. Consider whether curiosity and caution are both present.
