Dreaming of seeing your reflection in water - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may connect to wanting to check in with yourself during a time when your feelings are unsettled.
Instead of a mirror, your face or body appears on the water’s surface. When the water is still, your reflection is clear; when it ripples, your image looks distorted.
Korean lore: Traditionally, seeing your reflection in water has sometimes been read as a moment of looking back at yourself. The state of your mind may also be interpreted differently depending on whether the water was clear and still or cloudy and rippling. (In folk dream interpretation, water and reflections are sometimes read together as scenes of looking at your feelings or yourself.)
Through the mind: You may be unsure about a decision or influenced by the mood around you, and want to check what you think. If the water was unsettled, it may connect to a feeling that your mind has been hard to calm lately.
