dressing in other people’s clothes dream meaningĭreams of diving, floating and swimming usually hint at your current emotional state or the need to tap into the resources of your unconscious mind. If you find yourself dressed in expensive designer clothes you couldn’t normally afford, this may also be simple wish- fulfillment, especially if you are fashion conscious. If you were surprised by the color of the clothes in your dream- either your own or those belonging to someone else-then see if that color has significance for you (see COLORS). On the other hand if you dress casually in waking life and dream of wearing a business suit, your unconscious may be urging you to adopt a more business- like approach. Is it time for you to break out of your rut and for other people to sit up and notice you? If you astonish yourself by shopping for, buying and wearing unusual clothes in your dream that you would never normally wear in waking life, then your unconscious may have been suggesting that you have become too set in your ways and outlook, and that it is time to open your mind up to new opinions. If you are simply changing outfit in your dream, this may suggest altering your mode of behavior, role or mood. For Freudians, a child dressing up in adult clothes, particularly if the clothes are those of the opposite sex, may suggest childhood rivalry with one parent for the affections of the opposite sex parent. It can, on the other hand, suggest admiration for the person whose clothes you are wearing.įor Jungians, wearing clothes of the opposite sex may signal the dreamer’s need to express the anima (female aspects of the male nature) or the animus (male aspects of the female nature). In dreams, what you wear is often a symbol of your self-image or inner self, and if you dress in clothes that obviously belong to other people, this is a clear sign that you have problems accepting yourself as you truly are. clothes and image dream meaningĬlothes are the protective layer that keeps you warm, but they are also a way to express your personality or hide imperfections. Such dreams are rarely about sex and more about feelings of vulnerability, although they are sometimes about freedom from inhibitions. For example, you may turn up at a party dressed totally inappropriately, you may have problems getting dressed, or you may find yourself walking naked down a busy street. For example, if you were dressed in brightly colored designer clothes and were basking in the admiration of others, this may indicate good self-esteem, whereas if you were dressed in dark, shabby-looking garments in dreamland, and you felt miserable and self-conscious, it may be that this is how you are feeling in the real world.ĭreams about clothes can often focus on whether you are wearing the right outfit for the right occasion. The colors and condition of your dream clothes are especially important as they may symbolize how you are feeling about yourself, or how others perceive you. In waking life, clothes protect, conceal and reveal and so in dreams they depict the façade, or persona, you create for other people by so doing, they tell you where you may be vulnerable or exposed in waking life. Dreams about clothes are very common and they usually tell you something about your self-image.
