Dreaming of opening and closing scissors - dream meaning with inherited lore

You keep opening and closing the scissors in your hand, repeating the motion as you listen to the sound. The scene may show you staring at the scissors without deciding what to cut.

Korean lore: Traditionally, opening and closing scissors have sometimes been interpreted as opening and closing the door to a choice, or as putting off a decision. If you only kept repeating the motion without cutting, it may be seen as a sign that you haven’t reached a conclusion yet. (In folk dream interpretation, the opening and closing of scissors, along with their ability to cut, have been read as symbols of resolve and hesitation.)

Through the mind: It may reflect a situation where you keep thinking about which path to choose, such as changing jobs, moving, or making a decision about a relationship. It may be worth noticing whether the changes that would follow the decision feel more burdensome than the decision itself.
