Dreaming of Silk
silk, fabric, satin · mixed, mostly positive
Silk promises fulfilled ambitions and prosperity, but also rivalry and, in some readings, want if you indulge in it.
What happens in the dream
- You see silk by the piece or for sewing: prosperity and success
- You're dressed in silk: honors and wealth, but a quarrel with a rich neighbor
- You're given a plain dress and like it: excellent luck
- You wear silk clothes: high ambitions gratified, and estranged people reconciled
- If you're single: you'll soon see your sweetheart
- Old silk: pride in your ancestry; soiled or torn, that pride will be tarnished
- If you're married and dressed in silk: beware, infidelity may threaten your home
- You have fine silk dresses made: by contrast, poverty and want
How you felt
- Refinement: the dream often reflects a longing for softness and beauty
- Ambition: it may echo a wish to be recognized
Ask yourself
- What luxury do I truly crave?
- Am I content with what I have?
