Dreaming of water pooling on the stairs - dream meaning with inherited lore

Water has collected halfway down the stairs or near the bottom, and you look for somewhere to place your feet. The water may be clear, or murky enough to make its depth hard to tell.

Korean lore: Traditionally, water gathered on stairs has sometimes been interpreted as feelings temporarily holding back your progress or changes in the surrounding situation. Clear water may invite you to consider the flow of your emotions, while murky water may point to a state filled with worry. (This interpretation comes from a folk tradition that connects water with the flow of emotions and daily life, and stairs with movement and changes in stages.)

Through the mind: This may appear when there is something you need to move forward with, such as moving house, changing jobs, or taking the next step in a relationship, but your heart has not caught up. Rather than forcing your feelings aside, it may help to name what is holding you back.
