Dreaming of Apparel
apparel, garments · mixed, depending on condition and color
Clothing in a dream mirrors how your affairs are going: clean and well-fitting means success; worn or ill-fitting means setbacks.
What happens in the dream
- New clothes, or being well dressed in good company: honors and rising in the world
- In blue, green or yellow: victory through effort, prosperity, gaiety and financial progress
- In scarlet or crimson: a heavy blow, or else a timely escape from enemies
- Clean, whole clothes: success; soiled or threadbare: failure
- Out-of-date clothes: fortune, but scorn for new ideas; throwing them off: a new life that transforms you
- Dressed in white: eventful changes, often with sadness, though for some, success in love
- Ill-fitting or unseasonable clothes: setbacks in love and mistakes
- You lose a piece of clothing: trouble in business and love
- Dressed in black: quarrels, disappointments and business that falls short
How you felt
- Self-image: the dream often reflects how you want to be seen
- Mismatch: it may express a sense of being in the wrong role
Ask yourself
- Does the image I project feel like me?
- What "outfit" no longer fits me?
