Dreaming of leaving your former workplace - dream meaning with inherited lore

You gather your bag or personal belongings in the old office and step outside. You may feel relieved, or look back with regret or unease.

Korean lore: Traditionally, leaving behind an old connection or burden has sometimes been interpreted as a process of sorting things out and moving into a new phase. But rather than meaning that an actual job change or other change is set to happen, it may show your mind bringing one period to a close. (In folk dream interpretations, leaving is sometimes read as a symbol of letting go of an old relationship or role.)

Through the mind: You may be showing a wish to carry a little less of the tension or lingering attachment left over from your former workplace. It may also reflect a desire to set boundaries in your current work or start again in your own way.
