Dreaming of Smelling Incense - dream meaning with inherited lore

You smell incense around you even though you cannot see it, following the scent or simply breathing it in. It may feel familiar and comforting, or strange and stifling.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of smelling incense has sometimes been interpreted as memories or connections lingering in your heart rising again. If the scent was clear and comforting, it may be seen as welcoming good energy; if it was unpleasant, it may be read as looking back at something that has been troubling you. (In folk dream interpretation, smells have long been understood as symbols of sensing unseen energy and memories.)

Through the mind: A particular person, place, or old memory may be connected to your recent feelings. If the scent felt uncomfortable, it may also reflect heightened sensitivity to the atmosphere around you or to someone’s expectations.
