A Dream of Coughing in Smoke - dream meaning with inherited lore

Thick smoke hides everything around you, and your throat stings and you cough each time you breathe in. Unable to see where to go, you crouch down or cover your mouth with your hand.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of choking or coughing in smoke have sometimes been interpreted as worries and obstacles piling up together. They may also be seen as a sign that the situation around you is weighing on your heart. (Folk dream interpretations have connected thick smoke and difficulty breathing with worries or something blocking your way forward.)

Through the mind: If you have been constantly watching your step at work or in a relationship, or swallowing the words “I don’t like this,” those situations may appear as this suffocating sensation. It may feel like a sign that your body wants rest, but a dream alone cannot determine your health.
