Dream of offering incense to a spirit - dream meaning with inherited lore

You light incense before a presence whose human form is unclear. The surroundings may be dark or quiet, and you may feel that it is close by.

Korean lore: 전통적으로는 영혼에게 향을 올리는 장면을 혼령을 달래거나 마음에 남은 일을 풀어내려는 뜻으로 풀이해 온 경우가 있어요. 이를 실제 존재의 방문이나 경고로 단정하기보다는 꿈속 감정과 기억을 함께 살펴보기도 해요. (민간의 혼령 위로와 추모 의례에서 향을 쓰는 관습이 해석의 배경이 돼요.)

Through the mind: 두렵거나 정리되지 않은 기억이 꿈속 존재의 모습으로 표현됐을 수 있어요. 최근 마음을 무겁게 한 일을 떠올릴 때 무엇이 가장 불편했는지 천천히 살펴볼 수 있어요.
