Dreaming of a Loom

loom, textile machine, weaver · mixed, mostly happy when it's running

A loom speaks of harmony and a thriving home when it runs, of irritation or stubbornness when a stranger works it or it stands idle.

What happens in the dream

  • Pleasant-looking people at the loom: success in love, and for couples, tastes growing closer
  • Weaving on an old-fashioned loom: a thrifty partner and lovely children
  • A stranger working the loom: irritating chatter and a few dashed hopes
  • An idle loom: a sulky, stubborn person will cause you much worry

How you felt

  • Patience: the dream may reflect a project you are building thread by thread
  • Connection: it may express a wish to weave your life together with others

Ask yourself

  • What am I patiently weaving right now?
  • Which thread of my life has stalled?
