Dreaming of a stranger refusing to help - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may hold the feeling of looking for someone to lean on but not reaching them, or of carrying a burden alone.

Korean lore: Traditionally, this has sometimes been seen as reflecting a situation where things you hoped for aren’t working out yet, or it’s hard to get help from those around you. Rather than treating one dream as a prediction, you might reflect on whether there’s something you’re finding hard to ask for help with lately.
