Dreaming of a Patch
patch, darn, mend, repair · mixed
Patched clothes speak of modesty and want, but patching for your family promises money.
What happens in the dream
- You hide your patches: you'll try to keep a flaw hidden from your sweetheart
- You patch reluctantly: you'll take on duties you don't enjoy
- You patch your family's clothes: close, loving bonds, and in one tradition each patch means money for the household
- Your clothes are patched: you'll meet your obligations without false pride
- Others wear patches: want and hardship are near
- A patch on a new garment: trouble just when you think you're happiest
How you felt
- Self-consciousness: the dream may reflect a fear of showing your flaws
- Resilience: pride in mending rather than discarding
Ask yourself
- What am I trying to patch up right now?
- Am I hiding my imperfections from the people I love?
