A Dream of Walking Backward - dream meaning with inherited lore

You walk with your body turned backward, or look ahead while your steps move back. The surroundings may seem unfamiliar, and you may feel tense about falling.

Korean lore: Traditionally, walking backward along a road has been interpreted as lingering on the past or temporarily retracing a plan. Rather than being a bad sign, it may be seen as a time to check your direction again. (In folk dream interpretations, the flow of events and hesitation in the heart are read through the direction of the road and the condition of one’s steps.)

Through the mind: This may appear when you are facing a decision about leaving a job, moving, or changing a relationship, and find yourself wondering, “Why did I start this?” Rather than meaning you should truly turn back, it may feel like a sign to identify exactly what you regret or miss.
