Just like other culture and other people, dreams have its special meaning. In Korea, when a person had a big dream "keun kkum" ( 꿈) or let just say he/she had a great dream, then he/she could sell it to other people (mostly close relatives) who is interested in his/her dream on an amount he/she want. Korean believes that those big dreams will surely happen and will bring fortune to their life. In most cases, they sell it with a good price depending on how great the dream was. They believed that it will come true and will bring them luck.

Furthermore, if Korean people dream of pigs, it is a good omen. It could mean that lots of money is on its way to them. Moreover, pig "dwaeji" () is a symbol of fertility. Interestingly, pig is associated also with wealth. Indeed, pigs were so expensive in early times in Korea that one could pay their university entrance fee just by selling one.
