Dreaming of waiting for someone in front of ritual dishes - dream meaning with inherited lore
Waiting for someone in front of ritual dishes may bring to mind someone you miss or feelings you haven’t been able to share with family.
You wait for someone with the ritual dishes in front of you. You look toward the room or listen for footsteps.
Korean lore: Traditionally, waiting for someone during a family rite has sometimes been read as a sign of longing for ancestors or family, and of respect. It doesn’t necessarily mean that someone who has died will actually visit. (This draws on folk interpretations that connect ritual objects with memories of ancestors and family feelings.)
Through the mind: Someone you miss, or someone you have words left to say to, may be on your mind. Take a little time to notice how you felt while waiting and which memories have come up lately.
