Dreaming of a coffin closing at a funeral home - dream meaning with inherited lore

You watch the coffin lid close, or see someone else close it. You feel sad, yet also strangely calm.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a closing coffin has sometimes been interpreted as the process of saying goodbye to lingering feelings or the past. Some see it as a sign of putting a period at the end of a long-running problem, though depending on the dream’s emotions, a sense of regret may stand out instead. (In folk funeral dream interpretations, the meaning of parting and putting things in order has been read differently depending on the coffin’s condition and whether it opens or closes.)

Through the mind: Even as you think of it as something already past, an emotion you have continued to hold onto in one corner of your heart may be in the process of settling. Rather than forcing yourself to forget, it may help to look at what you want to say goodbye to.
