A chance meeting, then goodbye - dream meaning with inherited lore
Parting after an unexpected meeting can bring to mind changes in a relationship or feelings from the past.
You run into someone you know somewhere unexpected. After a brief chat, you each turn back to your own path.
Korean lore: Traditionally, an unexpected encounter has sometimes been interpreted as the energy of a new connection or news. If a farewell came with the meeting, it may also be seen as a change in the course of a relationship. (Folk dream interpretations have often linked meeting and parting with a stranger to changes in relationships or news.)
Through the mind: Someone who has come to mind again lately, or a relationship that still feels unresolved, may have appeared in your dream. You don’t have to take it as a sign that you’ll actually grow apart from someone.
