Dream of offering incense in a windy place - dream meaning with inherited lore

You offer incense outside, but the wind scatters the smoke and makes the flame flicker. You may cup your hands around the incense to keep it from going out.

Korean lore: Traditionally, offering incense in the wind is sometimes interpreted as a sign of many variables along the way to fulfilling a wish. Rather than focusing on whether the incense finally burns out or goes out, it may feel more natural to notice the impatience or persistence you felt in the dream. (This folk interpretation links the act of praying with incense to a flame flickering in the wind.)

Through the mind: Things may not be going to plan in your work or relationships, and you may be trying to steady yourself as one complication follows another. You can take a moment to consider what you want to protect these days, and whether you’re trying too hard on your own.
