Dreaming of a knife in an empty drawer - dream meaning with inherited lore

You open a drawer and find nothing inside but a single knife. It catches your eye, but you only look at it without picking it up.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a scene with a knife has sometimes been interpreted as connected to the strength to make decisions or deal with conflict. Some also see a knife set aside in a drawer as bringing to mind feelings or choices not yet brought out. (This interpretation draws on the folk dream tradition of reading a knife as a symbol of decisions and conflict.)

Through the mind: You may have words or options ready in your mind, even if you don’t use them right away. You could take this as a chance to think about whether there’s a decision you’ve been putting off.
