Dreaming of a Coat

coat, jacket, parka · mixed

A coat speaks of friendship and fortune: new, it brings honour; torn or lost, it means losses.

What happens in the dream

  • A new coat: a literary honour
  • Wearing someone else's coat: you'll ask a friend to vouch for you
  • A torn coat: the loss of a close friend and dreary business
  • Losing your coat: you'll have to rebuild a fortune lost through overconfident speculation

How you felt

  • A need for protection: the dream may reflect a wish to feel sheltered
  • Vulnerability: a lost coat sometimes points to a fear of being left exposed

Ask yourself

  • Who can I count on to cover for me?
  • Have I taken an overconfident risk lately?
