Dreaming of incense smoke filling your chest - dream meaning with inherited lore
This has sometimes been interpreted as prayer or remembrance settling deeply within you.
It feels as though incense smoke is slowly filling your chest and body. It may feel warm and comforting, or so stifling that you can hardly breathe.
Korean lore: In some folk interpretations, incense symbolizes devotion and prayer, and smoke entering the body can be read as those feelings sinking deep inside. Whether it felt comforting or stifling changes the impression of the scene. (This interpretation draws on folk readings in which incense at ancestral rites and prayers serves as a sign of sharing what’s in your heart.)
Through the mind: You may be in a time when longing for someone or a sense of responsibility runs deep. If breathing felt difficult, you might consider whether you’re carrying a lot lately; if it felt comfortable, perhaps you’re looking for comfort.
