Dreaming of salt touching a wound - dream meaning with inherited lore

Salt stings when it touches a wound, or someone sprinkles salt and causes pain. Even after trying to wash the wound, the irritation may seem to linger.

Korean lore: Traditionally, salt touching a wound has sometimes been interpreted as a dream revealing emotional hardship or discomfort in a relationship. But if the salt felt like it was cleansing and protecting the wound, it may also be seen as a sign of trying to sort through something painful. (In folk dream interpretations, salt is seen as something that purifies and wards off misfortune, but when it appears with a wound, it is often linked to irritation and hardship.)

Through the mind: Someone's recent words or something from the past may have stayed with you more deeply than expected. The scene may also reflect a wish to look at where you are being hurt again rather than turning away from pain you already know.
