Dreaming of Clothes

clothes, garments, outfit · mixed, depending on their state

Clothes mirror your fortunes: clean and new means prosperity, dirty or torn means deceit.

What happens in the dream

  • Clean new clothes: prosperity
  • Putting on very fine clothes: a significant promotion
  • Having lots of clothes: a doubtful omen that may mean going without necessities; for a young person, dashed hopes
  • Dirty, torn clothes: someone will deceive you; be wary of overly friendly dealings with strangers
  • Your own clothes dirty or torn: your reputation could suffer from the company you keep

How you felt

  • Concern with appearances: the dream may reflect how you want to be seen
  • Vulnerability: damaged clothes sometimes point to a fear of being exposed

Ask yourself

  • What image do I want to project right now?
  • Do I feel comfortable in the role I'm playing?
