Dreaming of walking backward - dream meaning with inherited lore

As you walk, your feet move backward instead of forward. You may feel as if you are walking while looking behind you or retreating as though someone is leading you, unable to change direction easily.

Korean lore: Traditionally, walking backward has sometimes been interpreted as looking again at past events or an earlier direction. It may also be seen as a scene of reconsidering a choice you have already made. (This comes from the common symbolic interpretation in folk dreams that links the direction of walking with the direction of life’s progress.)

Through the mind: You may need to start something new, yet feel that past experiences or failures are holding you back. You may also be torn between feeling that you can still reverse your decision and feeling pressured to move forward.
