A Dream of Comparing Your Body in Photos - dream meaning with inherited lore

You look back and forth between old and recent photos on your phone or in an album. Zooming in on differences in your figure or how your clothes fit can leave you feeling conflicted.

Korean lore: Traditionally, looking at a body that has changed from before has sometimes been interpreted as a sign that the flow of life is changing. The meaning of the change may differ depending on how you felt while looking at the photo. (In folk dream interpretation, comparing the past with the present is sometimes read as an image of looking back on what you have been through and your current circumstances.)

Through the mind: You may be checking whether you are living a life different from before, through changes such as a new job, a relationship, or living independently. The change in your body may have stood in for the self-evaluation, “How much have I changed?” rather than your actual appearance.
