Korean lore: Traditionally, a will-o’-the-wisp in an open field has sometimes been interpreted as a light that bewitches people or obscures the way. In a dream, it may also point to feeling lost before a new choice. (This draws on folk traditions that place will-o’-the-wisps in fields or wetlands, along with their symbolism of leading people astray.)
Through the mind: You may be in a situation where your options have widened—changing jobs, becoming independent, or moving—but your standards have become unclear. It may also reveal a wish to take time to confirm what direction you truly want, beyond what others say.
