Dreaming of shaking the principal’s hand - dream meaning with inherited lore

At graduation, you shake hands with the principal or someone who appears to be in charge. The scene may continue with you receiving a diploma or flowers as well.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of shaking hands or exchanging greetings with someone above you have sometimes been interpreted as opportunities for help and recognition. When combined with a graduation scene, they may be seen as finishing one stage of hard work and moving into new relationships or responsibilities. (In folk dream interpretations, respectfully joining hands with someone above you is often read as a symbol of recognition, a helpful person, or a connection between relationships.)

Through the mind: You may have felt strongly judged at work or school, or be waiting for a word from someone who holds the standard, such as a parent or senior colleague. It may also be a time when you want to tell yourself, before anyone else does, that you’ve worked hard.
