Dreaming of arguing with a former coworker - dream meaning with inherited lore

You argue with a former coworker at your old workplace, trading sharp words. Even after waking, things you never said then may come to mind.

Korean lore: Traditional dream interpretations sometimes view arguing with someone from work as a sign of tension in relationships or pressure from the job. When the setting is a former workplace, it has also been interpreted as a dream about sorting through a past relationship within yourself. (In folk dream interpretations, workplaces and coworkers have often been read as scenes reflecting one’s livelihood and social relationships.)

Through the mind: If you’re walking on eggshells at your current job or have words you’ve swallowed, those feelings may appear through the image of a former coworker. Rather than meaning you’ll actually have trouble with that person again, it may be a chance to reflect on your boundaries and how you express yourself.
