Dreaming that I am possessed - dream meaning with inherited lore

Your body may stiffen, your voice may not come out as you intend, and you may feel as though something else has entered you. The scene may continue with you trying to ask for help but unable to speak.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of being possessed have sometimes been interpreted as reflecting worries weighing on your mind or a state of being strongly affected by outside influences. The image of a strange energy entering you can also represent changes in your surroundings or emotional strain. (In folk dream interpretations, scenes of being possessed by a ghost have sometimes been linked to suppressed energy or worries that feel too much to handle.)

Through the mind: They may appear when other people’s demands—work, family expectations, or conflict with a partner—feel stronger than your own choices. If you’ve recently wondered, “Am I responding as myself?” that sense of frustration may have taken shape in the dream.
