A dream about embracing your reflection - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may bring to mind a time when you want to comfort yourself or accept how you feel right now.
You stand before a mirror, look at your reflection, then wrap your arms around it. Your reflection and movements may line up—or seem slightly out of sync.
Korean lore: Traditional interpretations of embracing yourself in a dream aren’t very well established. Still, drawing on the idea of an embrace as comfort and self-acceptance, the scene can be read as you caring for yourself. (This interpretation draws on a folk tradition of reading embraces as comfort and warmth in relationships.)
Through the mind: If you’ve lately been setting your own feelings aside to meet other people’s expectations, this scene may reflect a wish to be kinder to yourself. Think, too, about the feelings or expression you noticed while looking in the mirror.
