Dreaming of breaking out in a cold sweat - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may appear when worries following you or anxiety about the past still remain.
Cold sweat runs down your back, and you keep looking over your shoulder to see who is behind you. Something you want to hide or troubling gazes may linger in the background.
Korean lore: Traditionally, cold sweat running down your back has sometimes been interpreted as difficulty feeling at ease or as belated worry. It may also be seen as a time to look around you carefully. (In folk dream readings, cold sweat has been understood as surprise and anxiety showing themselves through the body.)
Through the mind: A conversation or mistake you thought was over may still be lingering in your mind. Rather than pointing to real danger, it may be that your feeling of not being safe yet was expressed through sensation in the dream.
