Dreaming of putting away a memorial portrait - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may hold a wish to put some distance between yourself and grief or old memories, and return to everyday life.
You take a memorial portrait down from a wall or shelf and move it somewhere else or put it away. Afterward, you may feel lighter, or you may feel sorry or empty.
Korean lore: Traditionally, removing a portrait of the deceased has sometimes been interpreted as the process of returning to daily life after mourning or remembrance. It can also be seen as finding a new place for the memory in your heart, rather than erasing it. (In folk dream interpretation, putting things away and changing their place is sometimes linked to sorting out relationships and moving into a new phase of life.)
Through the mind: You may not be forgetting the deceased, but adjusting your distance from grief so you can live your life now. It may also reflect a wish to step slightly away from family expectations or the way people around you grieve.
