Dreaming of carrying an urn - dream meaning with inherited lore
Carrying an urn may be connected to a situation where you are personally carrying the weight of past memories or feelings related to your family.
You may hold the urn close or carry it with both hands to another place. It may appear heavy, leaving you hesitant because you do not know where to set it down.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of moving something have sometimes been seen as reflecting a change in your circumstances or the process of sorting out responsibilities. When an urn appears with it, the dream has sometimes been interpreted as letting go of family memories or long-held burdens. (This is based on the folk-dream tradition of reading carrying and moving as signs of change and resolution, and connecting funeral imagery with family history and feelings of parting.)
Through the mind: When you feel that you are handling family expectations, holiday or household responsibilities, or the emotions tied to an old relationship all by yourself, the dream may express them as weight. This may also be a time to look at what you are still carrying and what you might set down.
