Dreaming of smoke drifting over water - dream meaning with inherited lore

Smoke spreads low over calm water, like a river or sea. It moves slowly along the surface without touching the water.

Korean lore: Traditionally, water has been read as emotion or the flow of daily life, while smoke represents unclear worries. When they appear together, the combination has sometimes been interpreted as inner unrest. Some also see it as worries drifting away like flowing water. (In folk dream interpretation, water and smoke are sometimes considered together to read the flow of your current emotions and the movement of your worries.)

Through the mind: A scene like this can form when a concern keeps resurfacing in one corner of your mind, even if you seem calm on the outside. It may be worth noticing whether the feeling is continuing by changing shape rather than disappearing.
