Dream of seeing an empty desk after quitting - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene of facing the feeling that your traces and sense of belonging disappeared when a chapter ended.
When you visit the office of the company you left, your desk is empty. You feel hollow seeing that your things have been cleared away or someone else is sitting there.
Korean lore: There is no traditional interpretation that directly covers a modern office scene with an empty desk. Still, an empty space is sometimes seen as putting the past in order or bringing a chapter to a close. (This interpretation draws on the folk tradition of reading empty spaces and vanished belongings as signs of endings and changes in relationships.)
Through the mind: Even after leaving a job, letting go of your role at the company and your relationships with people there can stay with you more deeply than expected. It may also have brought out the loneliness of feeling no longer needed, along with a wish to create a new place for yourself.
