A Dream of a Will-o'-the-Wisp Reflected in a Puddle - dream meaning with inherited lore

A will-o'-the-wisp shines clearly in a puddle on a dark road, but when you look up, the real light is somewhere else or nowhere to be seen. Each ripple distorts its reflection.

Korean lore: A will-o’-the-wisp reflected in water can be read through the folk idea that what appears before you may differ from what’s real. Still, there isn’t a clear traditional interpretation specific to seeing one reflected in a puddle. (This interpretation draws on folk tales that portray will-o’-the-wisps on night roads as illusions that lead people astray.)

Through the mind: You may be wondering whether what you hope for matches what’s really happening. If you’re facing an important decision, it may help to separate what you can see from what you’re guessing.
