Dream of soaking matchsticks in water - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a dream that explores the wish to deliberately delay a beginning or confrontation for now and let your emotions cool.
You soak matchsticks in a glass of water, a sink, or a river. You may feel as though you are preventing them from catching fire in advance, or feel calmer.
Korean lore: Traditionally, putting out a fire with water has sometimes been seen as calming excessive energy or avoiding conflict. It can also be interpreted as putting off a beginning. (This interpretation comes from the traditional reading of fire and water as a flow between heightened and soothed emotions, and between starting and holding back.)
Through the mind: You may be holding back the urge to speak or make a decision right away. The scene may also reflect your effort to slow yourself down so that a recent conflict does not grow.
