Dream of a Protective Will-o'-the-Wisp - dream meaning with inherited lore
Something that once seemed only frightening becomes an ally, reflecting the wish to find strength to rely on in a crisis.
The will-o'-the-wisp circles the dreamer and keeps something else away. It is frightening at first, but by the end, being close to the light brings relief.
Korean lore: Traditionally, light that drives away bad influences or guards a dark place has sometimes been seen as a sign of protection. Despite the uneasy image of a will-o'-the-wisp, if you felt relieved in the dream, it has sometimes been interpreted as a clue that something stuck may begin to loosen. (This interpretation comes from folk-religious symbolism that views fire as something that blocks darkness and harmful influences.)
Through the mind: Something you felt you had to handle alone may have become bearable with someone's help or with a source of strength within you. The scene may reflect a change in which you are trying to understand your fear as something on your side rather than simply make it disappear.
