In Korean culture, people used to celebrate the Day of Samjit (first day of spring). People used to believe that if one anyone sees a white butterfly that day, one of his/her family members will surely die within a year.

Reading about jisu's test day superstition reminded me if what my mom always says to me, if you eat an egg on the day you have a test or a quiz, u will get a zero because the egg symbolizes a zero.

In Korean culture, breaking a mirror means a bad luck for that day. I think it is sometimes true because one day, in the morning, I broke my mirror and in the afternoon, I did a really bad job during my volleyball practice. But I think this omen also exists in other culture. Haha I'm not really sure hehe

As Juni mentioned, cries of black crows signify bad luck for the day when you hear it. I'm not sure this is true but my mom used to tell me how touching the "waste" (poop) in a dream can mean that something really good might happen to you. It's ironic because stepping on it (not in a dream) can mean that you're going to have bad luck for the day. Since anything can happen in dreams, I guess people have so many interpretations, especially wrong ones.

In North American culture, I think I've heard once if you spill a salt or put two spoons in a cup, a bad fortune will come to you. In Korean culture, if you dream something about sacred or imaginary animals (like dragon) it means good luck or symbol of power. This is not an "omen" to be exact, since it doesn't signify bad events. Also, in Korea, if a swallow is flying close to the ground, it means the rain will come soon.

There's another omen I found in Korean culture! Do you guys have a habbit of shaking your legs/foot while you're sitting on a chair or on the floor? Well if you have... Watch out! haha In korea culture if we shake our legs or feet it means we are shaking off the luck from our body. Meaning that we are letting the lucks go off of us. I have a bad habbit of this and my parents believe in it so whenever my dad sees me shaking my leg he always pinches my leg or tells me off to not shake it.

I don't know whether this omen is Korean or American, but I heard that if you break a mirror, you won't have a boyfriend for i think seven years. So when I dropped my mirror, I was so scary if it was broken. But, it wasn't, which made me relieve alot even though I didn't believe that omen.

I'm not sure if someone mentioned this already but in Korea, if you dream about a pig or perhaps a dragon, that means that good fortune will come. Pig in Chinese letters, which Koreans often use, translates to 돼지 돈 and 돈 means money in Korean. The dragon represents mystic powers and supernatural happenings I believe. So people often say that the day right after you have such a dream, go out and buy a lottery ticket. You might just win.

I'm not sure about my culture because i have never heard that. But I know about the BLACK CAT.... To Japanese, when they see it in the street, it means something bad will happen. But, to American, something good will happen.

In our culture, we have something called tae-mong. This is a dream where it hints a birth of a newly born baby in a family. Strangely enough, it is usually the grandparents who dream this dream. This dream is usually different for every people, but it mostly contains mystical animals in different actions or situations. Some people can even determine the gender, characteristics, and even the future of the baby with the animals and their actions in the dream

Three things that are bad omens in Indonesian culture are:
1. Running over a cat = causes a road accident 2. Sitting underneath a doorway = makes your soulmate harder to find 3. Touching an older person's head (done this several times) = BAD LUCK in general
