Dreaming of Being Ragged

ragged, rags, tattered, threadbare · mixed

Wearing rags points to ridicule, but in other readings to rising soon.

What happens in the dream

  • You are in rags and in want: you will soon rise to a higher position, the happy sign
  • Your clothes are ragged: someone will tease you
  • You see ragged people: you'll be mocked at your next social gathering

How you felt

  • Shame: the dream may reflect a fear of being judged on appearances
  • Vulnerability: perhaps a sense of being exposed

Ask yourself

  • Am I afraid of not measuring up in others' eyes?
  • What am I hiding under my Sunday best?
