Dreaming of a stranger who feels familiar - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene of finding a familiar feeling in a new person or situation.
I’m sure I’ve never seen their face before, but somehow it feels as if I’ve known them for years. I may speak to them comfortably in the dream, or try to figure out why they feel so familiar.
Korean lore: Traditionally, this has sometimes been seen as a sign of a new connection approaching in a familiar way, or of a relationship whose possibilities are not yet clear. You don’t need to assume the person in the dream is someone specific in real life. (This draws on a common thread in folk dream interpretations that reads a stranger as a new connection or a part of yourself.)
Through the mind: Someone you met recently or a new setting may have brought up familiar feelings from the past. Whether you felt more at ease or awkward can help you reflect on the distance you want in your relationships now.
