Dreaming of wearing layers of mourning clothes - dream meaning with inherited lore

You keep layering the same clothes over your mourning clothes, or take them off only to find another layer underneath. Your body may feel heavy and constricted.

Korean lore: Traditionally, mourning clothes have sometimes been understood as attire for grieving and for seeing a family through a major event. There is no widely established meaning for the detail of wearing several layers, so it may be best read alongside the dream’s overall weight. (This interpretation builds on folk symbolism around mourning clothes, while also considering the clothing’s layers and weight in the dream.)

Through the mind: It may reflect a feeling that, while carrying one responsibility in your family or work, you’ve taken on another burden too. Thinking about what felt heaviest may help you notice what kind of breathing room you need now.
