Dreaming that your parents argue over a gift for the family meeting - dream meaning with inherited lore
Disagreeing over a gift may reflect the pressure of trying to meet both families’ expectations.
At the family meeting, your parents disagree about the type or size of the gift. You listen or wonder what to do between them.
Korean lore: Since gifts at a formal meeting between the two families have traditionally been seen as a way to show respect and begin a relationship, disagreement over them may reflect the strain of finding a balance between the families. There’s no clear, established traditional interpretation for a specific argument over gifts. (Traditional folk interpretations of a formal meeting between the two families often center on courtesy between the families and the forming of a relationship.)
Through the mind: You may feel you have to meet both your parents' and your partner's family's expectations, or worry that a small choice will be taken as a big deal. It may help to consider what you'd like to compromise on and what you'd rather decide for yourself.
