Dreaming of wiping a fogged-up window - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may connect to a time when you want to sort out, little by little, a feeling or situation that hasn’t been clear.
Fog or steam clouds the glass, blurring the view outside. As you wipe it with your hand or a cloth, a small patch clears first.
Korean lore: Traditionally, clearing fog that blocks your view has sometimes been interpreted as a sense of uncertainty gradually lifting. There isn’t a widely shared folk interpretation specifically for wiping a window yourself, so it can also help to consider how the dream felt and what was happening in it. (This interpretation draws on folk readings of fog as a state of uncertainty and unease.)
Through the mind: If you’re waiting for a clear answer about a decision or relationship, the dream may reflect a wish to find that answer for yourself. If things stayed hard to see even after you wiped them, you may want to pause and catch your breath instead of rushing.
