A Dream of Praying After a Nightmare - dream meaning with inherited lore
Praying after a frightening scene can be seen as an effort to calm your startled heart and feel safe again.
After waking from a frightening dream, you pray in bed or in your room. Your heart may race at first, then gradually settle as you pray.
Korean lore: Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as trying to shake off bad energy or anxiety and protect your peace of mind. If you felt calmer after praying, it may suggest that your worries were beginning to ease. (In folk dream interpretations, prayer has long been read as an act of calming anxious energy and seeking protection.)
Through the mind: You may have been worrying until just before falling asleep, or may have had the dream after experiencing something genuinely startling. The act of praying may be a way of sorting through your feelings and telling yourself that you are okay.
