Dream of a ship’s rope snapping - dream meaning with inherited lore

Korean lore: Traditionally, a broken mooring line has sometimes been read as a sign that a stable foundation or close relationship is becoming unsettled. Depending on what happened to the ship in the dream, it may also suggest change or independence. (Some folk interpretations treat a ship’s mooring line and its being anchored as images of stability or connection.)
