Traditional reading

Digging up wild or cultivated ginseng has been handed down as a conception dream of carrying a precious, healthy child. The thicker the root and the more fine rootlets, the more perseverance and patience the child would have and the longer they'd enjoy blessings, and in the old days a ginseng taemong was considered a sign of a son.

Through the heart

Ginseng, rooted deep in the earth, symbolizes recovery and inner strength. If you dreamed it with no connection to pregnancy, it can be seen as a time when your tired body and mind regain their energy.

Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things

Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".
