Dreaming of Paint and Painting

paint and painting, artwork, canvas, painter · mixed

Fresh paint points to a plan that succeeds, but beautiful paintings warn of illusions.

What happens in the dream

  • Newly painted houses: a plan you've devised will succeed
  • You wield the brush yourself: you'll be happy with your current work
  • Paint on your clothes: thoughtless criticism will upset you
  • You admire beautiful paintings: friends will play you false and pleasure will prove fleeting
  • You paint a picture: your sweetheart may turn to someone else

How you felt

  • Creativity: the dream may reflect a wish to transform or brighten something
  • Distrust of appearances: you may wonder what lies beneath the surface

Ask yourself

  • What do I want to freshen up in my life?
  • Am I trusting appearances too much?
