Dreaming of burning your resignation letter - dream meaning with inherited lore
You may be experiencing a moment when your resolve to leave, or the feelings around it, rises sharply.
You hold your resignation letter and set it alight, or see paper burning in a wastebasket. Sometimes it turns to ash, or you hurry to put out the fire and change your mind.
Korean lore: There doesn’t seem to be an established folk interpretation of burning a resignation letter. Destroying the paper may reflect wanting to make your decision final or wanting to take it back, though the meaning can feel different depending on the emotions in the dream. (Resignation letters and the process of quitting are part of modern working life, and there isn’t a clear tradition of treating them as distinct symbols in folk dream interpretation.)
Through the mind: You may want to make your decision to quit irreversible, or, on the other hand, erase a hasty decision. Whether you felt relieved or uneasy as the paper burned may offer a clue to how you feel now.
