A Dream About Receiving a Letter with Bad News - dream meaning with inherited lore
Dreaming of receiving a letter with unsettling contents may be less a prediction of real news than a scene where your recent worries take shape as words.
You sense something ominous before opening the envelope, and feel heavy-hearted after reading it. Worries about family, work, or money may surface as if they were part of the letter.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a letter containing dark news has sometimes been interpreted as an expression of present worries or something weighing on your mind. It isn't generally seen as meaning the dream's contents will come true exactly as they are. (In folk dream interpretations, the letter's contents and the recipient's feelings are considered together, then read as symbols of news and worry.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when you keep preparing for something that hasn't happened yet, or imagine the worst while waiting for an outcome. If there's a problem you haven't checked on or contact you've put off, that burden may also be reflected.
