Dream of Mourning Clothes That Don’t Fit - dream meaning with inherited lore
Mourning clothes that don’t fit may reflect how awkward your current role or way of expressing emotion feels to you.
You’re wearing mourning clothes, but the sleeves are too long or the waist is tight, so you keep adjusting them. You need to attend an important gathering, but the clothes make it hard to move.
Korean lore: Traditionally, clothes that do not fit have sometimes been interpreted as a sign that your current role or family responsibilities feel too much for you. If they are mourning clothes, the dream may reflect difficulty accepting grief or family responsibility in your own way. (In folk dream interpretations, the size and feel of clothes have been read as clues to how comfortable you feel in your role and social position.)
Through the mind: You may feel that the person your family wants you to be, or the maturity society expects of you, still does not fit. You may know what needs to be done but feel unsure how to face those emotions, and that awkwardness may have surfaced in the dream.
