Dream of throwing a burning match - dream meaning with inherited lore

You let go of a lit match and throw it far away. You worry it might go out when it hits the ground, or that you don’t know where it will land.

Korean lore: There isn't a clear traditional interpretation specific to throwing a match. Letting a burning match go may be read symbolically as something, or an emotion, you want to get away from quickly. (This interpretation draws on general symbolism around handling a flame, rather than a specific folk reading of matches.)

Through the mind: You may not want to keep dwelling on a problem that's been bothering you, or may have reacted in anger and worried about it afterward. Whether you felt safer or more anxious after throwing it may offer a clue to how you feel now.
