Dream of a matchstick splitting in two - dream meaning with inherited lore
This dream may reflect something you wanted to start splitting midway, or having to divide one feeling between two directions.
Before you strike the match, the stick splits in two in your hand. You hesitate over which side to use, but neither one catches fire.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a match splitting before it catches fire has often been interpreted as a plan dividing or momentum scattering. In reality, though, it may also represent the process of settling on one choice. (This follows the folk-dream tradition of connecting broken or split objects with stopping or branching off, and an unlit flame with hesitation before a beginning.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when you have to choose one side in work or a relationship but haven’t made up your mind. Rather than a plan going wrong, it may reflect the strain of being unable to let go of several possibilities at once.
