Dreaming of feeling jealous about a friend's engagement - dream meaning with inherited lore
More than your friend's good news, it may reveal how you're comparing the pace and direction of your own life.
Your friend shares news of an engagement or marriage, and everyone around you celebrates. Alongside the thought that you should congratulate them, hurt or jealousy rises as if you're the only one falling behind.
Korean lore: Traditionally, feeling jealous of someone else’s happy occasion has sometimes been interpreted as comparing it with your own wishes. News of a marriage or engagement may also be seen as a scene representing a change in a relationship and a new phase. (In folk dream interpretations, another person’s happy occasion and jealousy have often been read as scenes revealing personal wishes or a tendency to compare yourself.)
Through the mind: You may sincerely congratulate your friend while also feeling pressure about the next stage of your own life, such as dating, marriage, or housing. It may not mean that you necessarily want marriage; the changes around you may simply have led you to reconsider your own choices.
