Dreaming of searching through an old phone book - dream meaning with inherited lore

You open an old phone book from a drawer or bookshelf and look through the names and numbers, one line at a time. You find the number you were looking for, or your hand pauses for a long time at a familiar name.

Korean lore: In traditional folk dream readings, finding an old contact again has sometimes been seen as the return of past ties or news. The meaning can vary depending on the state of the address book and how you felt in the dream. (This interpretation draws on folk readings that compare ways of getting in touch with connections and news between people.)

Through the mind: Something recently may have brought an old friend, family member, or someone you were once close to to mind. The scene may hold your hesitation about reaching out again, or a feeling of looking back on who you were then.
