A dream of a friend not returning something they borrowed - dream meaning with inherited lore
Not getting something back may connect with feeling that your share or boundaries aren’t respected in a relationship.
You ask your friend to return something you lent them, but they avoid answering or say they can’t return it yet. You might see clearly what the item was, or see your friend continuing to keep it.
Korean lore: A dream where you don’t get back something you lent has sometimes been interpreted as hurt over an imbalance in give and take. Some consider the feeling that your request was taken lightly more important than the item’s value. (In folk dream interpretation, scenes of lending and getting something back have been used to consider trust and give and take between people.)
Through the mind: This scene may appear when you’ve done someone a favor or made a concession in real life, then felt you didn’t receive enough thanks or consideration. It may also reflect a wish to reset how much you’re willing to help.
