Dreaming of finding someone else’s résumé - dream meaning with inherited lore

You find a résumé on a desk or in a stack of papers and open it. The name and work history may look unfamiliar, so you realize it isn’t yours.

Korean lore: A résumé is not a subject that old folk dream interpretations treated as a fixed symbol. Rather than assign it a traditional meaning of good or bad fortune, it may feel more natural to look at how it felt to encounter an unfamiliar document in the dream. (A résumé is a modern job-search document, so there is no clear traditional folk interpretation that directly matches this scene.)

Through the mind: If you've been comparing yourself with other people's achievements or career paths lately, those feelings may have found their way into the dream. You may be at a point of considering whether your choices feel right and what kind of place you want for yourself.
