A dream of praying with your eyes closed - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reflect a time when you want to turn away from others’ eyes for a while and focus on what’s in your heart.
You close your eyes tightly and pray. Everything around you is hazy or quiet, and only the words of your prayer or the sound of your breathing feels clear.
Korean lore: Traditionally, praying with your eyes closed has sometimes been interpreted as a sign of earnestness or a way of gathering your thoughts. The feeling of the prayer may be read differently depending on whether you felt at ease or uneasy in the dream. (This draws on folk interpretations that view the gestures of prayer as expressions of hope and one’s state of mind.)
Through the mind: You may have a lot on your mind and want to shut out other people’s words or judgments for a while. Whether closing your eyes brought relief or unease may help you sense what kind of rest or reassurance you need right now.
