A dream about the stairway lights going out - dream meaning with inherited lore

While going up or down the stairs, the lights suddenly go out and everything around you turns dark. You turn on your phone’s light or feel along the wall, trying to get out of the stairwell.

Korean lore: Traditionally, stairs in the dark have sometimes been interpreted as a symbol of a time when the future feels unclear or the heart feels weighed down. Finding a light and getting out may also be seen as finding direction despite the uncertainty. (This interpretation comes from folk readings that associate light and darkness with clarity and anxiety, and connect stairs with the process of transition.)

Through the mind: Your anxiety may have grown in a situation where the outcome is hard to predict, such as a new job, a move, or a change in a relationship. Rather than judging everything alone, gathering information or telling someone you trust what is happening may help ease your mind.
