Dream of taking a photo while wearing mourning clothes - dream meaning with inherited lore
Taking a photo in mourning clothes may reflect wanting to preserve something from the past in your memory or put a certain period of your life in order.
You stand before a camera in mourning clothes, or someone takes your picture. You may force a smile, or feel that the person in the photo looks different from your real self.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of taking a photo while wearing mourning clothes have sometimes been interpreted as moments of tying up and remembering past events or relationships. Feeling comfortable with the photo may suggest that you are sorting through your feelings, while discomfort may be seen as feeling caught in a past role. (In folk dream interpretations, mourning clothes have been connected with grief and closure, while photos have been linked to memory and leaving a trace behind.)
Through the mind: This scene may appear after something has separated your former self from who you are now, such as changing jobs, becoming independent, or ending a relationship, or when you are wondering how to remember that time. It may also show up when you are bothered by the gap between how you appear to others and how you actually feel.
