Dreaming of shredding numbers on paperwork - dream meaning with inherited lore
Getting rid of numbers on paperwork may connect to wanting to escape burdensome records or calculations you haven’t sorted out.
After checking an amount or figure on a sheet, you tear it into pieces or put it through a shredder. Watching the numbers disappear may feel relieving or unsettling.
Korean lore: In folk interpretations, erasing a number or deleting a record is sometimes seen as trying to settle something from the past. Whether it feels more like a loss or a fresh start can depend on the feelings and circumstances in the dream. (This draws on a common folk interpretation that sees deleting a record as putting things in order or bringing them to a close.)
Through the mind: A calculation or responsibility you'd like to be done with may still be on your mind. The dream may also reflect a wish to clear up your records or put off making a decision.
