Dream of smelling matches - dream meaning with inherited lore
It can be seen as a scene where old memories or familiar feelings rise again.
You do not light the match, but smell the wood or smoke up close. A specific memory may surface too, like your childhood home, a winter night, or someone’s room.
Korean lore: There is no especially clear traditional interpretation of the smell of matches itself. Smelling the trace of a spark is sometimes loosely viewed as the afterglow of the past or the hint of news. (This is close to the general folk-dream-reading tradition of seeing traces of smells and smoke as the lingering scent of memories, news, or emotions.)
Through the mind: A similar smell or place may recently have brought an old memory back to life. Your present feelings may be revisiting the warmth or regret of the past.
