Dreaming of refusing condolences at a funeral - dream meaning with inherited lore
Refusing condolences may reflect wanting comfort while finding it difficult to show what you feel.
You shake your head at someone who came to the funeral or avoid the mourners without accepting their greetings. Someone's comfort feels burdensome, and the wish to hear nothing at all becomes clear.
Korean lore: Traditionally, refusing condolences has sometimes been interpreted as wanting to break off a relationship or not yet being ready to accept grief. It is not generally taken to mean that a real-life separation is certain. (In folk dream interpretations, greetings and condolences at a funeral are read as signs of respect and comfort within a relationship, while pushing them away may be connected with emotional self-protection.)
Through the mind: You may feel that advice or concern from people around you is becoming a burden, and wish to handle your feelings in your own way. If you felt angry, you might reflect on whether your boundaries felt invaded; if you felt hurt, you might be feeling unable to find a way to receive the comfort you want.
