A Dream About Clearing Out Your Desk at Your Former Workplace - dream meaning with inherited lore

You clear away documents and stationery one by one from a desk still left at your former workplace. The scene may end with the desk emptied after you throw away old things or pack them into a box.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams about sorting and clearing things out have sometimes been understood as a process of putting old matters or feelings in order. A desk at a former workplace may also represent the process of setting down past work and responsibilities. (In folk dream interpretations, cleaning and organizing are read as scenes of clearing away old energy or past matters, while a desk may be seen as an object representing work and responsibility.)

Through the mind: You may be in a period of looking back at whether you’re still carrying your old ways of doing things or past standards of evaluation after changing jobs. Your wish to reorganize your current desk, schedule, and relationships may have appeared in the dream as a concrete action.
