Dreaming of a Pig

돼지꿈 dwaeji-kkum

In Korea this is the dream people call each other about. A pig means money — so directly that many Koreans buy a lottery ticket the same morning.

The old reading

Dwaeji-kkum is the most beloved wealth dream in the Korean tradition. A pig entering your home is prosperity walking in on its own feet, unasked.

The deeper layer

Haemong reads how the pig arrived. One that wanders in and stays is read as fortune that has chosen you and will wait. One you chase or catch is read as gain you will have to work for. Both are good; they arrive differently.

And it reads your reaction. People who feel embarrassed in front of a pig dream — who apologize for the mess — are usually the ones who have already earned what is coming and haven't noticed.
