Dreaming of a Shawl

shawl, scarf, stole, wrap · mixed

A shawl points to flattery and favors, or an attentive new love; losing it warns of sorrow.

What happens in the dream

  • You see a shawl: someone will flatter and favor you
  • You get a new shawl and you're single: an attentive, charming new admirer
  • You lose your shawl: sorrow and discomfort
  • If you're in a relationship: beware a charming person who could jilt you

How you felt

  • A need for warmth: the dream often reflects a wish to be wrapped up and protected
  • Fear: it may echo worry about being left

Ask yourself

  • What warms my heart right now?
  • Am I wary enough of sweet talk?
