Dreaming of returning your diploma - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may show that it’s hard to accept an achievement as your own, or that you’re thinking about the responsibility that comes with it.
You hand your diploma back to someone, or are told to return it. As it leaves your hands, you may feel hesitant or relieved.
Korean lore: There isn’t a widely established traditional reading of returning a diploma. Giving the certificate back can be considered as a moment of hesitation about accepting an achievement or the responsibilities that come with it. (There’s no clear, widely known folk interpretation of this scene, so I read it carefully through the general symbolism of graduation and certificates.)
Through the mind: Even after achieving something, you may feel it isn’t enough, or feel burdened by the role that comes next. How you felt as you handed it back may offer a clue to how you feel about your achievements now.
