Dreaming of vomiting: meaning in Korea
In the Korean reading, vomiting in a dream means expelling what was hurting you: worries, bottled-up anger or a matter that is over.
What they say in Korea 토하는 꿈
In kkumhaemong, vomiting is not considered a bad dream. It is said to stand for getting out something that weighed on you inside: a worry, anger you were holding on to or an emotional debt. After vomiting in the dream, the person usually feels relief, and that is the key to the Korean reading: cleansing and renewal. If you throw up something shiny, like gold or jewels, the folk reading gets even more curious: it may mean you will share something valuable with others, or that a hidden talent is coming to light. If someone else vomits in front of you, it is read as them about to confide a secret or a problem to you.
Depending on the details
if you feel relief afterward
A very favorable reading: a heavy matter ends. Your mind is left clear to start something new. A good time to tidy up your home and your schedule.
if you throw up something shiny
It is read as a talent or a richness flowing from you out into the world. It could be a creative idea, knowledge you share or a generous gift.
if someone else vomits
Someone may soon open up to you. Listening patiently brings you closer to that person and, according to tradition, returns goodwill to you many times over.
And luck?
After this dream, a Korean might clean out their phone, their drawers or their to-do list, to go along with the renewal.
In other traditions
In the West vomiting in a dream is tied to rejection, something you cannot "stomach", disgust at a situation or a need to express what you hold back. Also to emotional purification.
