A Dream of Parting With a Stranger - dream meaning with inherited lore
Saying goodbye to a stranger is sometimes understood as reflecting feelings about a change or relationship you have not yet been able to name.
In the dream, you sit across from or walk with someone you have never seen before, then part ways. Their face or voice is unclear, yet something about them may linger strangely after they leave.
Korean lore: Traditionally, parting from a stranger has sometimes been interpreted as an undisclosed connection or a change in life's direction. Depending on the mood of the dream, it may also represent a vague sense of regret rather than a new beginning. (This interpretation comes from a folk tradition of reading scenes of separation as changes in relationships and the closing of a past period.)
Through the mind: Such a scene may appear when you are mentally preparing for a new environment or new people. A vague worry about what you might lose may also have taken the form of a stranger.
