Dreaming of reuniting with an estranged parent - dream meaning with inherited lore

You come face to face again with a parent you’ve kept your distance from for a while. You might speak or simply look at each other, and the dream may feel warm or uncomfortable.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of meeting a parent have sometimes been interpreted in connection with family relationships or news. A distant relationship appearing in a dream doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily make peace in real life. (This comes from a common strand of folk interpretation that views family appearing in a dream through the lens of family relationships and news.)

Through the mind: The dream may have reflected something you wish your parents would say, or something you’ve wanted to tell them but put off. Even if you haven’t decided whether to reach out, you can separately consider what you miss and what feels like a burden.
