A Dream About Holding On to Someone Who Is Leaving - dream meaning with inherited lore
Holding on to someone who is leaving can reflect the wish not to let go of a relationship or the anxiety you feel in the face of change.
When the other person is about to turn away, you grab their wrist or the hem of their clothes and tell them not to go. Sometimes they stop, and sometimes they slip from your hands and you lose them in the end.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams about holding on to someone who is leaving have sometimes been interpreted as a wish to protect a connection or an inability to easily accept change. They may also be seen as part of facing feelings that have been put off for a long time. (In folk dream interpretations, the act of holding on is sometimes read in connection with attachment to a relationship, regret, and the wish to protect it.)
Through the mind: This kind of scene may appear if you sense that a relationship is changing or are waiting without knowing how the other person feels. The difficulty of deciding whether to let go may have been expressed in the dream as you reaching out your hand.
