A dream about putting on a shrunken school uniform - dream meaning with inherited lore

You take out a school uniform or old uniform and put it on for the first time in a long while. The waist and shoulders do not fit, making it hard to move, while your old school or its hallways appear around you.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams in which old clothes no longer fit have sometimes been interpreted as showing that past ways or relationships no longer fit your present life. A scene in which your body has grown may also be seen as a change in growth or responsibility. (In folk dream interpretation, clothing has traditionally been read as representing your current role and circumstances, while fitting or not fitting has represented changes in daily life.)

Through the mind: You may be comparing the expectations of your school years, standards set by your family, or your former self with who you are now. The feeling that your current role has grown larger than before may remain as both a burden and a source of pride.
