Dreaming of Blood

피꿈 pi-kkum

In Western lists blood is alarm. In Korean tradition it is one of the wealth symbols — and one of the most misread.

The old reading

Pi-kkum is read as vitality and money. Blood on your clothes or hands is traditionally read as fortune sticking to you.

The deeper layer

Haemong reads direction. Blood arriving — spilled onto you, filling a space — is read as gain. Blood leaving you steadily is read as energy draining, and the tradition treats that as a call to rest.

The dream's mood is not part of this reading. People wake from blood dreams frightened and the tradition still counts most of them fortunate.

A small Korean customIf the blood was arriving, keep the dream quiet until noon. If it was leaving you, sleep an hour longer tonight.
