Dream of crumpling a matchbox - dream meaning with inherited lore

You press the matchbox hard or crumple it until its shape is distorted. Even as you worry the matches inside might break, you keep squeezing as if you are angry.

Korean lore: Traditionally, damaging an object that holds a flame has sometimes been interpreted as momentum being cut off or a plan being abandoned. If you were angry, it can also be seen as an attempt to put out the spark of an argument. (In folk dream interpretations, damage to a vessel or tool that holds fire is often read as a scene showing a change in momentum or the interruption of a plan.)

Through the mind: Feelings you had been holding back at work or in a relationship may have risen all at once, or a situation may have made you give up on something you wanted to begin. Anger toward someone that you could not express directly can also appear as crumpling an object.
