Dreaming of putting a knife in a drawer - dream meaning with inherited lore
Putting a knife in a drawer may hold the feeling of choosing not to take out sharp emotions or a decision just yet.
You place a knife in a kitchen or desk drawer and close it. You may arrange it so it’s easy to find, or hide it deep inside where no one can see it.
Korean lore: Traditionally, putting a knife in a drawer has sometimes been interpreted as temporarily covering up conflict or settling the sharp energy in the home. It may also be seen as keeping an important tool safely stored. (This interpretation comes from the folk tradition of seeing the act of storing a knife as controlling emotions and conflict.)
Through the mind: You may be managing your emotions and waiting for the right time instead of confronting things immediately. At the same time, the dream may reflect a feeling that if a problem remains hidden, you will eventually need to bring it out and talk about it safely.
