Dream of floating a lantern on a river - dream meaning with inherited lore
Floating a lantern on a river can be read as letting your wishes or supportive feelings drift onward.
You float a small lantern or candle on a dark river. You watch the light drift away with the ripples, or release the lantern with someone else.
Korean lore: Traditionally, floating a light on water has sometimes been interpreted as releasing blocked feelings and letting a wish drift onward. If the lantern moves away steadily, it may suggest sorting out your feelings and moving to the next stage. (It draws on folk interpretations that read water and fire symbols together, seeing the scene as lighting up a wish and sending it onward.)
Through the mind: You may want to send away something safely—words you wished to tell someone or a hope you still cannot let go of. You may also be quietly hoping for a new direction after sorting through a recent relationship.
