A Dream of Praying Face Down - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene of desperately wishing for someone's help or a way through when it is hard to keep going on your own.
You lower yourself to the floor and pray for a long time, lying face down. The desperation may feel overwhelming, or you may find it hard to get back up after praying.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of lowering yourself to pray have sometimes been interpreted as humility and an earnest request. They may also be seen as seeking help to untangle something that feels stuck. (In folk dream interpretations, lowering your body is seen as an expression of an earnest wish and reliance, and is sometimes read together with the scene of prayer.)
Through the mind: Your responsibilities or burdens may have grown so much lately that you feel you can no longer handle them alone. You may want to ask someone for help but hold back out of pride or guilt.
