A dream about deleting a photo together out of jealousy - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene where the wish to end a relationship collides with the wish to keep it close and precious.
I find and delete photos of myself with my partner or friend from my phone. After tapping delete, I stare at the empty screen, feeling hollow, or try to restore them.
Korean lore: Traditionally, photographs have been seen as traces of memories and connections, while erasing them has been interpreted as hurt feelings about a relationship or a wish for change. If jealousy was part of it, some interpretations see it as a sign that you want to redefine your place in the relationship. (In folk dream interpretations, photographs and records have often been read as traces of past connections, while deleting them has been interpreted as an image of clearing things away and changing a relationship.)
Through the mind: You may have wanted to show the other person that they hurt you, but couldn’t say it directly. Rather than truly wanting to end the relationship, you may have wanted to briefly erase the feeling that things were no longer as comfortable as before.
