Dream of the Grim Reaper Appearing Again - dream meaning with inherited lore

Just as I feel myself falling asleep in the dream, the Grim Reaper appears again. I can’t tell dream from reality, or it feels as if the scenes are overlapping.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of meeting the grim reaper has sometimes been interpreted in connection with major turning points or endings in life. There’s no clear, widely established traditional interpretation for the detail of meeting him again in a dream, so it may be more natural to look at recurring worries or unfamiliar feelings. (This draws on folk interpretations of the grim reaper while reflecting that there’s no clear tradition around the specific detail of dreaming within a dream.)

Through the mind: This layered scene may arise when you keep turning over the same concern, or when the feelings from a dream linger after you wake. It may also help to reflect on whether you’ve been tired or sleeping irregularly lately.
