Dreaming of Wearing a Hanbok on a Hot Day - dream meaning with inherited lore
Wearing a hanbok even on a hot day can sometimes reflect a clash between the formality you feel you must maintain and your actual fatigue.
You are sweating and the clothes cling to your body, but you cannot take off the hanbok. You may feel as though you have to stay because of an event or other people's eyes.
Korean lore: Traditionally, heavy clothing on a hot day has sometimes been interpreted as excessive pressure or manners you feel obliged to maintain. At the same time, remaining fully dressed can be seen as an attitude of not wanting to let go of your responsibilities. (This draws on a folk dream-interpretation tradition that considers restrictive clothing and uncomfortable weather together to read responsibility, appearances, and psychological pressure.)
Through the mind: You may have been accumulating situations at work or home where you feel you have to accommodate others even when you dislike it. Though you keep holding yourself together outwardly, your dream may have revealed a stronger wish to feel at ease, even briefly.
