Dreaming of visiting a shrine after a funeral - dream meaning with inherited lore

After the funeral, you stand before a shrine or altar. You quietly linger, looking at the incense or a photo, or bow together with someone.

Korean lore: Traditionally, visiting a family shrine or altar has sometimes been interpreted as a way of recalling ties with ancestors and family. After a funeral, in particular, it may be seen as part of holding on to memories and making sense of them. (In folk interpretations of dreams about memorial rites and funerals, a family shrine is often seen as a place that holds family roots and memories.)

Through the mind: You may be thinking about memories or responsibilities passed down in your family. A recent experience with a funeral or memorial rite may also have lingered as the dream's backdrop.
