Dream of bowing at a memorial service - dream meaning with inherited lore
Bowing at a memorial service may reflect respectfully accepting someone who has passed or time that has gone by, and saying goodbye in your heart.
You stand before the memorial table or a photograph and bow slowly. You may feel conscious of the people watching, or remain unable to raise your head for a while afterward.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of bowing at a memorial have sometimes been understood as expressing respect and heartfelt feelings toward elders, ancestors, and family. They can also be seen as dreams of honoring past relationships while reflecting on your own place. (In folk dream interpretation, bowing and showing proper respect are sometimes read as connected to family relationships, gratitude, and respect.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when you have kept your feelings down to maintain respect for family expectations or relationships with older people. At the same time, it may suggest that you want to finally express your feelings to someone you were grateful to, even if belatedly.
