Psychology
Mould spreads quietly without notice, reflecting postponed problems or unspoken grievances slowly growing. Recoiling at mould suggests you are noticing what you ignored; cleaning it away, readiness to tackle the problem.
Folklore and history
In humid Japan, rainy-season mould has always been a household headache. Yet koji, essential to miso, soy sauce and sake, is a mould too; Japanese food culture grew alongside it. Mould blurs the line between rot and ripening.

This site's view
In this site's view, where it grew shows where the heart is. On food, disappointment in something you looked forward to; on walls or ceilings, a stale atmosphere at home or work; on your belongings, guilt over neglecting what you cherished. Noticing it is itself the signal to begin care.
Going deeper: our reading
Mould is often noticed by smell before sight. Many have opened a long-closed closet or bag, caught that damp odour, and hurried to check inside. Japan has the custom of mushiboshi, airing clothes and books on sunny summer days to protect them from mould and insects, and temples and old households still air treasured items this way. In this site's reading, how you treated the mould shows your heart's direction. Throwing windows open suggests a wish to bring fresh air into stale feelings or closed relationships. Drying things in the sun means you sense you may gradually bring hidden matters into the light. Mould on old photos may be slight regret at not revisiting precious memories. A smell with no visible source reflects an unease with no clear cause. This is our speculation, but those too busy to check in with their feelings may dream this most.
What to do on waking
Open a window to air the room and wipe one spot that has bothered you. When the air moves, stagnant feelings flow too.
