Dreaming of following the grim reaper - dream meaning with inherited lore

You follow the grim reaper along a dark road or beyond a door. You may feel calm or curious rather than afraid, or your feet may feel too heavy to move.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of following a grim reaper has sometimes been interpreted as leaving behind an old relationship or way of life and moving into a new phase. If you felt peaceful in the dream, it may reflect acceptance of change; if you felt anxious, it may suggest you are not fully ready yet. (In folk dream interpretation, moving toward the road to the afterlife or toward a door has often symbolized the end of one period and the transition into the next.)

Through the mind: You may already be accepting, somewhere inside, a difficult-to-reverse change such as changing jobs, becoming independent, or ending a relationship. The feelings you had while following may help you reflect on whether hope or regret is stronger about the change before you.
