A dream featuring a corpse may feel eerie at first, but in Korean traditional dream lore it is surprisingly often mentioned as a good omen tied to wealth luck. In particular, dreams of touching a corpse directly or bringing one into your home have long been read as a sign of gaining great wealth. Psychologically, it can also be interpreted as the end of a past matter or relationship, or the release of suppressed emotions.
