Dreaming of Stockings

stockings, hose, pantyhose, tights · mixed

Stockings speak of company and money: cotton brings modest happiness; holes or loss bring losses.

What happens in the dream

  • You see stockings: pleasure in questionable company
  • Cotton stockings: modest happiness; silk: hard times
  • Ragged or worn stockings: unwise conduct
  • You put on fancy stockings: you will enjoy attention, so choose carefully
  • You take your stockings off: you will receive money
  • You darn stockings: news to your advantage
  • White stockings on your feet: disappointment or illness
  • Stockings with holes: loss of property
  • You lose your stockings: trouble and distress

How you felt

  • Self-image: the dream may reflect a wish to please
  • Care: darning often echoes a wish to mend what's worn

Ask yourself

  • What would I rather mend than replace?
  • Whom am I trying to please?
