Dreams of our dress are essentially us looking at how we see ourselves and how others see us.
The types of clothing I wear in my dreams reveal a great deal about the way that I see myself.
My clothes represent parts of myself.
Clean clothes might refer to respect, while dirty clothes indicate insecurity.
Several layers of interpretation are added to the color of my clothes as well, which I wear in my dreams.
The colors have their symbolic language.
When they present themselves in dreams are helpful hints at how we feel. For example, white clothes in dreams mean purity and innocence.
It is about protection
Clothes are a type of barrier as well, a fence from the outside world, and this is not only about physical protection but also mental.
My level of security can be told by the type of clothes I am wearing.
For instance, dreaming about me being wrapped up in suffocating clothes might indicate I am feeling defensive or pressured.
This could be my reaction to a threat (real or imagined) as well as maybe an extension of the fact that part of me wants to protect myself from pain/ hurt.
Alternatively, dreaming of being naked or in light clothing can also suggest feelings of insecurity and shame.
It can be a meaningful nod to me that I am feeling fully naked (unprotected) in some regard.
In a spiritual sense, clothes can be the religious garments of my faith or beliefs.
Wearing religious or ceremonial clothing in my dream – I will be connected to spiritual practice and feel safe & guided from above.
It is about status
Clothes represent the status and social responsibilities of an individual.
Clothing in dreams can represent my social status and the roles I take on at home or work.
The clothing I adorn in my dreams can also say a lot about what I dream of, aspire to and how -I wish for — my identity within the world is viewed.
Dreaming that you are wearing luxurious or high-status clothing may suggest a need for power and prestige.
It might imply that I want to be searching for other people’s approval.
The situation in which I wear particular clothes is important as well when dreaming.
In fact, dreaming about being in a uniform signifies that I feel the need to fit in or be more conformist.
It is about emotional expression
Dreaming of clothing can also be a way to interpret our emotions.
Like my clothing in waking life communicates my mood and personality.
Clothing type, color and condition of the clothing can provide a lot of information about what is going on in terms of my emotional landscape.
If you are dreaming of wearing bright, colorful clothes, this may indicate that you have a sense of joy and optimism, while dark, somber clothing might be a reflection of your feelings right now – e.g., feeling depressed/sad etc.
Even the act of dressing or undressing in a dream may be indicative of my level of emotional expression.
Perhaps some of the emotions that I may be experiencing or what my experience in waking life might feel like are represented by my choices.
For example, dreaming of wearing a wedding dress may suggest feelings of love and devotion.
It is about the integration of the self
Clothes in dreams represent how the different aspects of self are integrated.
So, let’s say I dream about wearing office work clothes – this can symbolize my professional identity.
Recognizing the clothes that I wear in my dreams can help me to integrate these various parts of myself and become more whole.
It is about the connection to ancestral memories
Clothes in dreams can also link me to previous lives and the collective memory.
This link can offer new understandings of unresolved problems or current life-long patterns.
If I have dreams of wearing clothes from a certain era, this represents my past life.
It is about the manifestation of inner conflicts
The clothes in dreams may just as well symbolize different sides of my psyche that are battling against each other.
Based on the type of clothing and the degree to which dream features interact with me in dress form provide insights into where dialog within myself needs repair.
If, for example, I dream of wearing clothes that are too tight or uncomfortable, then it might mean an aspect of myself is out of sync with the real me.
This discomfort can point to a clash of my true desires with societal, familiar or self-imposed requirements.
These dreams can help motivate me to examine these conflicts and find ways in which I might resolve them, acting more according to my values on the inside.
Dreams of wearing unmatched clothing or something not suitable for the setting may suggest feelings of being out of place.
This might represent even deeper inside struggles, where part of my identity is fighting against the rest.
By understanding these dreams, I bring to my awareness that there may be parts of me that are at war with each other. In so doing, I can work to integrate and align them – one step closer to peace within myself.
It is about the creative energy
Clothing in dreams can also represent how I express my creative energy and the imaginative aspect of myself creating experiences (reality).
Similarly, the clothes I wear in dreams may symbolize my creative impulses and originality, moving to expression out into the world.
To dream about designing/ creating clothes, is a sign of being connected to my creativity itself.
It can be a way in which my intuition was communicating to me that this new energy signature may wish to create.
These dreams can help me with my artistic passions.
