Dreaming of going to someone else’s funeral - dream meaning with inherited lore
A scene where you’re unsure whose funeral it is may reflect a time when your feelings and other people’s expectations are tangled together.
At a funeral you were invited to or went to, you see a name you don’t know or realize the deceased isn’t who you expected. You may feel startled or awkward.
Korean lore: There isn’t a set folk interpretation for a scene where whose funeral it is changes. You might look at it as a dream that combines the sense of an ending with unfamiliarity and confusion.

Through the mind: You may be taking someone else’s problems on as your own, or feeling unsure about what you want. It may help to reflect on whether you’ve been putting your feelings aside lately to meet someone else’s expectations.
