Dreaming of a lantern sinking into water and going out - dream meaning with inherited lore
A light you’ve been holding onto going out in water may reflect feeling drained by your emotions or what’s happening around you.
A small lit lantern sinks into the water or is swept away by the waves and goes out. As its light flickers, you reach out to retrieve it or watch it drift away.
Korean lore: In traditional interpretations, a light going out is sometimes seen as energy or hope fading. A scene of being submerged in water may be read as adding emotional turmoil to that feeling. (Folk interpretations sometimes compare a light going out and images of water to shifts in energy and emotion.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when responsibilities pile up and you worry you might lose something you want to protect. Looking back on whether anything has recently taken a lot out of you may bring the scene into a different light.
