Dreaming of holding the memorial paper in both hands - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may reflect facing feelings or responsibilities passed down through your family without treating them lightly.
You support the memorial paper with both hands and carefully raise it before your chest or face. Everything around you is quiet, and you strongly feel the need to steady yourself so the paper will not crease.
Korean lore: Traditionally, holding the memorial paper in both hands has sometimes been interpreted as a scene of showing respect to one's ancestors and humbly carrying on the family's wishes. It may also be seen as preparing to accept an important responsibility. (There is a traditional folk-ritual reading of holding the memorial paper with both hands as a symbol of respect and carrying on what came before.)
Through the mind: You may want to fulfill your role in the family well, or wish to be recognized by someone. Even if it feels burdensome, your care for the relationships that matter to you may have appeared in the dream through this posture.
