Dreaming someone says you've lost weight - dream meaning with inherited lore

Someone looks at your face or body and says you've lost weight. You may feel pleased, or awkward and flustered because it differs from how you really look.

Korean lore: Traditionally, losing weight has been interpreted in different ways—as old burdens lifting or vitality fading. It may also be viewed as reflecting a change in your relationship with the person who spoke in the dream. (Folk dream interpretations have linked changes in weight with the burdens of daily life and the flow of energy.)

Through the mind: It may reflect a wish for someone to notice your changes, or, conversely, an awareness of how others judge your appearance. How you felt when praised can be an important clue.
