Dream of a Family Ghost Turning to Ash - dream meaning with inherited lore

The family ghost's body slowly turns to ash or smoke, leaving traces in your hands or settling on the ground. The harder you try to hold on, the fainter the traces become, and the surroundings grow quiet.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of a dead family member's form scattering have sometimes been seen as scenes of closing one chapter or setting down old sorrow. Rather than simply calling ash and smoke an ominous sign, they have also been interpreted as a dream in which the shape of a memory changes. (In folk dream interpretations, ash and smoke symbolize both disappearance and change, and when they meet the form of someone who has died, they may be read as signs of parting and putting things in order.)

Through the mind: This scene may appear after a recent memorial or during a time when you are beginning to hold your guilt and longing for your family in a different way. If the feeling of not being able to hold on was strong, it may reflect both the wish to let go and the wish not to.
