Dream of tearing a memorial portrait - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may appear when anger and frustration have built up together around feelings tied to someone who has passed or to the past.
You tear the portrait by hand or split it into several pieces. Afterward, you may regret it—or feel unexpectedly relieved.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of damaging a memorial portrait have sometimes been interpreted as scenes of sharply colliding with a past relationship or long-held feelings. They may also be seen as a process of sorting through suppressed emotions, but interpretations that declare something ominous should be treated cautiously. (In folk dream interpretations, damaging a photograph or portrait has traditionally been linked to feelings of disconnection in a relationship or inner conflict.)
Through the mind: You may be angry not at the person who passed, but at the relationship you had, your role in the family, or hurt feelings you never voiced. The anger in the dream may have expressed feelings you are holding back in real life.
