A Dream of a Decaying Lotus - dream meaning with inherited lore
This can be read as noticing the parts of something or someone you wanted to keep well that have begun to wear you down.
The lotus in the pond has lost its color and turned soft, or the edges of its petals have darkened. You may move closer to smell it, or see it decaying underwater.
Korean lore: Traditionally, flowers rotting or wilting have been interpreted as weakening energy or changing expectations. They can also be seen as a sign of letting go of something you have held onto for a long time and moving into a new phase. (This connects with the common folk dream-reading tradition of linking changes in a flower’s condition to relationships, energy, or the closing of a chapter in life.)
Through the mind: Fatigue may have built up in something or someone you have kept up appearances for. Even if the scene was uncomfortable to see, it may also mean you are now ready to face and tend to a problem you had been avoiding.
