Dreaming of thawing frozen kimchi - dream meaning with inherited lore

You take rock-hard frozen kimchi from the freezer and leave it at room temperature or soak it in water to thaw. At first, you hesitate to touch it, but with time its smell and color come back to life.

Korean lore: Traditionally, food thawing from ice has sometimes been interpreted as a blocked matter opening up or a flow returning. However, some interpretations hold that the meaning can vary depending on the kimchi’s condition and your feelings in the dream. (In folk dream interpretation, the change from freezing to thawing is connected with contrasting stagnation and recovery, blockage and movement.)

Through the mind: Something you had put off for a while or kept your feelings closed around may have started weighing on you again. It may also reflect a wish to slowly regain your emotional warmth rather than rush.
