Dreaming that you greet the deceased but they turn away - dream meaning with inherited lore

At the funeral, you greet the person who passed away, but they turn their head or walk past without answering. You may be left feeling hurt or caught off guard.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams where someone who has died doesn’t return your greeting have sometimes been interpreted as reflecting words left unsaid or regret about the relationship. Rather than taking it as a sign of what the person truly meant, some see it as a scene that reflects the feelings of those left behind. (In folk dream interpretations, a deceased person’s response is sometimes read as a symbol of the affection and lingering feelings of those left behind.)

Through the mind: You may still carry words you couldn’t say to that person, or feelings of guilt. The dream may also include a recent worry about being rejected in a similar relationship.
