Dreaming of meat: meaning in Korea

In the Korean reading, meat in a dream is abundance at the table: receiving it fresh announces gains; grilling it with others, celebration and togetherness.

What they say in Korea 고기꿈

In Korea, meat is synonymous with celebration: samgyeopsal sizzling at the table with friends, or galbi at family feasts, are happy moments. In kkumhaemong, receiving or buying fresh red meat is said to announce gains and good fortune, because in the past it was a luxury. Grilling meat with friends or coworkers is read as togetherness, celebrations and good working relationships. The reading changes with its condition: fresh, plentiful meat is favorable; raw meat you cannot eat, or meat that has gone bad, is read as a plan that needs more preparation. Some Korean interpreters say sharing it multiplies the luck.

Depending on the details

if you receive fresh meat

Gains or a valuable gift. In Korean tradition meat was a luxury, so receiving it in a dream is read as a material improvement.

if you grill meat with friends

Celebrations, good relationships and group spirit. It may announce a celebratory dinner, a shared project or a team making up.

if the meat has gone bad

Something needs a second look: a murky agreement or a plan left on hold too long. Calmly clear up the details before moving forward.

And luck?

After this dream, a Korean would probably organize a samgyeopsal night with friends, to share the luck.

In other traditions

In the West meat in dreams is tied to physical desires, energy, instincts or, sometimes, aggression. Raw meat can stand for unresolved matters or intense emotions.
