Dreaming of smoke rising as leaves burn - dream meaning with inherited lore

You burn fallen leaves in a yard or open lot, and gray smoke slowly spreads. You might linger over the familiar smell and scene, or feel stifled as the smoke gets in your way.

Korean lore: There isn’t a widely established traditional interpretation specific to burning fallen leaves. It may be read cautiously as smoke spreading, a metaphor for worry or the lingering feeling of something past. (This applies the common folk dream interpretation of smoke as an image of worry only to the scene with fallen leaves.)

Through the mind: There may be a relationship or memory you want to put behind you, though some feelings remain. A familiar scent or seasonal scene may also have brought back a feeling from the past.
