Korean Dream Meaning explains how Korea reads dreams. The gold 길몽 (gilmong) in our logo means "a lucky dream". In Korea, dream reading (꿈해몽, kkum-haemong) is part of everyday life. A pig dream sends people to the lottery shop, a parent remembers their child's taemong for decades, and a good dream can even be bought from the person who had it.
Most English dream dictionaries follow Western or psychological readings, so a Korean reading can surprise you. Dying in a dream is lucky, poop means money, and a snake is often welcome. This site puts the Korean tradition first and shows the Western reading alongside it.

What this site is not
Dream readings are culture and folklore. They don't predict the future, and nothing here is medical, financial or religious advice. If a dream keeps upsetting you, talking to someone you trust or a professional will help more than any dream book.
