Dreaming of your first love returning an old gift - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this scene is sometimes read as a wish to make sense of a past relationship or get something back from it.
Your first love hands you something you once gave each other and tells you to take it. Even after taking it, you may be unsure whether to throw it away or keep it.
Korean lore: Traditionally, exchanging old belongings has sometimes been interpreted as coming face to face again with traces of a past relationship. How you felt about getting the item back may reveal whether you want to let go or hold on to it. (I drew on folk interpretations that read old belongings and gifts as traces of a relationship or knots tied to memories.)
Through the mind: You may be sorting out what kind of memory you want to keep of a past relationship. Remembering whether you felt relieved or hurt when you got the item back may also help you see what boundaries you want in your relationships now.
