In Korean culture, conception dreams (Korean: 태몽; Hanja: 胎夢; RR: taemong; MR: t'aemong) are dreams that are said to foretell the conception or birth of a child, dreamt by the future mother or people close to her.
Popular topics of the dreams include fruit (such apples, persimmons, cherries, chestnuts), animals (tigers, snakes, goldfish), nature (rivers, rainbows), children and jewels.
The dreamer might eat or take fruits, embrace animals, or interact with nature.
Accounts of conception dreams can be found in numerous old histories.
One example is the conception dream of Kim Yushin, from the 6th century AD, documented in the Samguk Sagi.
