Dreaming of burning your diploma - dream meaning with inherited lore
You may still have strong feelings about something that has ended—enough to want to cast off your past record or the expectations placed on you.
You put the diploma or graduation certificate you received into a fire and watch it burn. You may feel relieved, or feel flustered or regretful afterward.
Korean lore: Traditionally, burning documents or a diploma has sometimes been seen as wanting to cut ties with past relationships and standards and start anew. Rather than deciding that you will literally lose something you have, it can be read as a symbol of wanting to break free from past judgments. (In folk dream interpretation, fire is often treated as an image that represents both clearing things away and change.)
Through the mind: This may appear when you want to step away from the path expected by school, work, or family, or when you feel that past achievements no longer explain who you are. Thinking about whether you were angry at the diploma itself or at the person who demanded it may help you notice the pressure you are under now.
