A Family Ghost Apologizing - dream meaning with inherited lore
This scene has sometimes been read as reflecting words you wished you could hear from family, or hurt that has built up in a relationship.
A family ghost says they’re sorry to the dreamer. The scene may continue with the dreamer accepting the apology or being unable to respond right away.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a deceased family member apologizing has sometimes been linked to lingering hurt or longing in the hearts of those left behind. An apology in a dream doesn’t decide who was right or wrong in real life. (This reading comes from a folk dream tradition that connects a deceased family member’s words and manner with the emotional memories of those left behind.)
Through the mind: A dream may give voice to a wish for an apology or explanation you didn’t get in a relationship. You can take your time noticing what feelings remain in your relationship with your family.
