Dreaming of Swallowing Rotten Food - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as having to accept an unpleasant situation.
Spoiled food goes down your throat, and a foul taste or discomfort lingers afterward. You may feel trapped, as if you have to swallow it even though you want to spit it out.
Korean lore: Traditionally, swallowing rotten food has sometimes been read as taking in something unwelcome—a situation or words you’d rather not accept. It can also represent putting up with something unpleasant, but it doesn’t mean something bad is bound to happen. (In folk dream interpretation, eating and the condition of the food are considered together, often as signs of difficult circumstances or emotional strain.)
Through the mind: This kind of dream may come when you’re putting up with a request or situation that’s hard to say no to. Think about what feeling lingered after you swallowed it in the dream.
