A Dream of Hiding in a Basement - dream meaning with inherited lore

When you hear that a tsunami is coming, you go down into a basement or underground space and close the door. You listen to the water outside, checking whether you are safe, and hesitate over when to leave.

Korean lore: Traditionally, hiding in a low or sheltered place to avoid water has sometimes been interpreted as an impulse to escape worry. Depending on the nature of the water and the place, it may also be seen as showing that your anxiety has grown. (In folk dream interpretations, avoiding water or hiding oneself is sometimes read as an attempt to escape current worries and danger.)

Through the mind: You may be longing to cut off contact for a while and rest from places that keep you tense, such as work or relationships. You may also feel tired of wanting to move only after securing a safe space.
