Dream of returning your access card - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may relate to feeling that your place at work is disappearing, or to letting go of your sense of belonging.
After being fired, you return your access card or employee ID. The door won’t open, or a security guard takes the card, leaving you feeling as though you’re saying goodbye for the last time.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of returning an object that represents your status have sometimes been interpreted as putting an old position or authority in order. They may also be seen as letting go of something you held onto for a long time and moving into a new order. (In folk dream interpretations, losing or returning something that represents belonging, such as an ID card or key, has often been read as a change in your position.)
Through the mind: As you leave or consider leaving your company, you may be feeling the loss of connection with people more deeply than the work itself. It may also reflect how closely you tie your sense of belonging and identity to your job.
