A Dream of Washing the Spirit Paper in Water - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be connected to a wish to cleanly sort through old feelings or burdens that have lingered.
You carefully place the spirit paper in water or wash it under running water. Even when the paper gets wet, it may feel less frightening than cleansing something long-held.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of washing a memorial tablet has sometimes been interpreted as a process of putting old feelings or worries within the family in order. It may also be seen as a wish to reshape a relationship. (In folk dream interpretation, water is read as purification and the flow of emotions; when it appears with a memorial tablet, it may be connected with sorting out family relationships.)
Through the mind: It may reflect a wish to ease some of the hurt or guilt that has built up within your family. If you have recently been trying to look at something from the past in a different way, that process may have appeared as this scene.
