Last night's dream,
read the Korean way
30 dreams explained through traditional Korean dream reading (haemong), scene by scene. One word you remember is enough.
What makes Korean dream reading different
Korea has its own long tradition of reading dreams, called 해몽 (haemong).
- Some "bad" dreams are read as goodKorean tradition has the idea of a reverse dream (yeokmong): stepping in poop can mean money, and crying can mean relief.
- Animals carry specific meaningsA pig often stands for wealth, a dragon for success, a white snake for a welcome guest or helper.
- The scene matters more than the symbolEvery reading here shows how the meaning changes with what happened and how you felt.
