Dreaming of seeing unfamiliar writing on the memorial paper - dream meaning with inherited lore
This scene may reflect wanting to understand your family’s meaning or an old promise, while the words still do not quite reach you.
You try to read the writing on the memorial paper, but the characters look unfamiliar. Even after looking again several times, their meaning does not come through, leaving you frustrated or intrigued.
Korean lore: Traditionally, difficulty reading the writing on the memorial paper has sometimes been interpreted as the ancestors’ or family’s wishes not yet being clearly conveyed. It may also be seen as a time when you are facing a new family role or responsibility. (In folk dream-reading, writing and documents are seen as ways of conveying meaning, and the state of memory and communication is considered through how clearly they can be read.)
Through the mind: This scene may appear when you are unsure what your family expects, or when you feel that others do not truly understand you even after you explain your feelings. If you have recently faced an important decision, unclear standards may also have appeared in the dream as unfamiliar writing.
