A will-o’-the-wisp that won’t come when called - dream meaning with inherited lore
A scene where something doesn’t respond, no matter how hard you call, may echo the frustration of a situation or relationship that won’t move the way you hope.
You gesture or call out to the will-o’-the-wisp, but it stays where it is or drifts away. Waiting may leave you feeling frustrated or let down.
Korean lore: In folk stories, goblin fire is said to be a light that can bewitch people. There’s no clear set interpretation for a scene where it doesn’t come when called, but it may echo the feeling that something you’re waiting for isn’t going as hoped. (This interpretation draws on folk stories that portray goblin fire as a light that bewitches people or leads them astray.)
Through the mind: If you’re waiting for someone’s response or decision these days, that impatience may be reflected in the scene. If it felt especially frustrating that the light didn’t come when called, you might consider whether there’s a gap between the pace you want and the pace things are moving at.
