A dream about holding smoke - dream meaning with inherited lore

You reach out to gather the drifting smoke or try to place it in a bottle or bowl. It may seem caught, then slip away again, or linger briefly in your hands.

Korean lore: Traditionally, trying to grasp something without a fixed form, like smoke, has sometimes been interpreted as an attempt to deal with something elusive. If you gathered the smoke even briefly, it may be seen as a process of bringing scattered energy together. (Folk dream interpretations look at the smoke's form together with the act of grasping it to read whether an unstable situation is being brought under control.)

Through the mind: You may have this dream while turning vague worries into a concrete plan or record. Even without solving everything perfectly, it may hold the feeling that you are holding on to what you can do.
