Dreaming of locking away a family tree - dream meaning with inherited lore

You put the family tree in a drawer or cabinet and turn the key. You may worry someone will see it, or feel relieved that it’s safely stored.

Korean lore: There doesn’t seem to be a well-established traditional interpretation for hiding or carefully storing a family genealogy. It may suggest wanting to protect your family history, but the reason for hiding it and the feelings involved offer a stronger clue. (In folk beliefs that treat a family genealogy as a record of family history, storing it may be connected with protecting that record.)

Through the mind: You may be feeling unsure about whom to tell family stories to, and how much to share. You might also consider whether something involving your family has recently made you want to protect your privacy or set boundaries.
