What Clothing Means in a Dream

Clothing is an element of protection. For us, on a subconscious level, “to cover oneself” means to close oneself off. A naked person is defenseless, open. With clothing it is almost the same. It matters which part of the body is exposed or not covered.

If in a dream the emphasis is on the durability of the clothing (leather, fur, made of dense material, protective) – subconsciously there is an indication of a good defense mechanism.

Clothing is a social position, status. The type of clothing, style, expensiveness, conformity to fashion – indicate the sphere of life that the dream plot touches on. A new expensive business suit may mean a new job, a promotion in position. The more expensive the suit, the higher the salary will be at the new place.

A uniform is a sign of fulfilling duties (business) in the same field of activity. The more expensive the clothing, the more financially well-off the person. In life, one can create the appearance of expense. But in a dream, this is impossible. If a person looks “like a million” in a dream, they are truly financially secure.

Clothing is a person’s inner state. Beautiful clothing that you like in a dream and that you feel comfortable in indicates your feeling in the circumstances. For example, women often see themselves in incredibly beautiful dresses before a meeting, an acquaintance, or a romance.

Inappropriate, ugly, or ill-fitting clothing is a sign that you do not match the situation, that you are doing something wrong. You feel “out of place.”

New clothing

New clothing can symbolize your new position or status. This could be new relationships, affairs, or an entire period of your life. By the appearance and quality of the clothing, as well as your own perception, you can judge the changes that will soon come into your life. The more beautiful and rich the items, the better.

Children’s clothing, if in a dream or in life it cannot have any relation to you (the exception is clothing for your children), means the futility of efforts in affairs. This is a mismatch between your capabilities and abilities and your desires or plans.

The color of clothing in a dream

The color of clothing in a dream is a direct indication of the state of the person wearing the clothing or for whom it is intended. In dreams, our subconscious unerringly conveys masses of information through color. Since in dreams we see most objects and things as they are, it is the color of clothing that indicates what a person is reflecting or, conversely, holding back. That is, it indicates the state they are emitting.

White clothing – reflects all colors and retains none. Almost always indicates events that will excite you. These are not necessarily negative events, but as a rule – exciting ones. Beautiful people dressed all in white – portend joyful events. The exception is medical workers, doctors.

Also, white is a festive color of clothing, when something is announced to the whole world. In a negative aspect, white can indicate complete detachment – the reasons can be different (from psychological to physical, though often they are connected).

Black clothing – on the contrary, retains everything and reflects nothing. It can be a symbol of protection (like the clothing of judges, clergy). It can also be a symbol pointing to the business sphere of life, if it is business-style clothing. In a good aspect – the business sphere. In a bad one – sorrow, mourning. Sometimes it can also be secrets hidden from everyone.

Black underwear – almost always indicates hidden intimate relationships. But black clothing that evokes negative feelings in the dream itself is a sign of anxieties, worries, sometimes an indication of sorrow. People dressed all in black are a symbol of danger or sorrow.

Red clothing – beautiful, rich, often indicates a wealthy person. Red women’s clothing is a symbol of passion if it has the corresponding style. Any red clothing with negative characteristics in the dream plot is a sign of uncontrolled anger, a person with a violent temper, aggression.

Yellow clothing – beautiful – a symbol of a period of joy and well-being. Ugly yellow clothing may indicate illness.

Blue clothing – almost always symbolizes protection, patronage and strength. This is the case with a positive characteristic of the symbol in a dream.

Grey clothing – often means work and everything related to it.

The condition of clothing in a dream

Clean clothing – health, strength, a good level of energy, protection.

Dirty clothing – may mean shame, humiliation or illness. It means illness in cases where the clothing is dirty from wear, that is, unwashed. The symbol of dirty clothing is poor well-being, negative influence, negative emotions, illness, actions that have stained a person in the eyes of other people.

Beautiful clothing – confidence, stability, a secure position, the fulfillment of desires, the realization of what was planned.

Torn clothing – vulnerability, weak spots, emotional or physical trauma, damage.

Any holes in clothing – these are holes in a person’s energy body. Since clothing is a protective covering, in the subconscious of every person it first and foremost performs the function of protection. Therefore, any holes are weak spots. In such dreams, one must determine what this weak spot is. The symbol of a hole in clothing itself can indicate both financial difficulties and illnesses.

Clothing that does not fit in size – incongruity, inadequacy in a certain environment, situation, inner disharmony. Clothing that does not fit in size symbolizes inappropriateness, unsuitability in a certain environment or situation, inner discord.

When in a dream you cannot put on what you want, it is a reflection of the absence of abilities or opportunities to fulfill your aspirations and needs. When you cannot get rid of the clothing on yourself, it denotes a difficult situation from which it is hard to escape, more from the emotional side than the real one.

Old, worn-out clothing – lack of money, need. And old, in the sense of clothing that you wore long ago, means that in some aspects your life may return to its previous course. Here the main clue will be your personal memory of that period and the events when you wore those things.

Wet clothing – almost the same as the dream symbol “bathing in clothes” – a mismatch of actions or the state of the situation.

Actions with clothing in a dream

Buying clothes in a dream – to realize your plans for the future. But it is important what exactly the clothing was like: its style, color, size.

Measure or try on clothes – signs of plans or changes that are possible to implement.

Putting clothes on yourself – means stepping into an image. A very good symbol in a dream will be new, expensive and suitable clothing for you, which you not only saw or bought, but also put on yourself.

Putting clothes on someone in a dream – your help to a person or assistance in a matter for the one you are dressing.

Taking off torn, dirty, worn-out clothes – recovery, liberation from problems, a change in relationships, position.

Changing clothes – a change of image, changes in mood, new emotions, changes in physical well-being.

Choosing clothes – a symbol of choice and opportunities.

Looking for clothes – means looking for opportunities.

Washing clothes in a dream – a sign that you are putting your affairs in order. It is especially good if right in the dream you saw that you managed to wash the item.

Wrapping yourself in clothes, putting on extra layers – an attempt to fence yourself off from others, vulnerability, closeness, complexes.

Mending clothes – the same as patching holes. That is, trying to get out of a difficult situation.

Being without clothes in a dream – a sign of complete liberation (symbolic) or shame and disgrace. It all depends on the circumstances in which you or someone else was without clothes in the dream and what you felt at the same time.

A dream about a black military uniform that came true

Dreamer’s story:

I’m in a store. Next to me I notice a man I know in real life. He looks great: fit, in a black military uniform (belts and everything that goes with it) and on top a warm blue jacket. The clothes are new, neat, and fit him well.

He sticks a card into an ATM, numbers appear on the screen, but it’s not what he wants. The saleswoman tells him: “Try another one.” I stand nearby and pretend we don’t know each other. I feel that he is above me in status, including financially, and I’m a little envious of that.

The man recognized me. He put the card into another ATM, and he started walking behind my back saying: “Things like this are only given to those who were at war” (whether it was the uniform or the card — I don’t remember). I stand there and smirk cheerfully. And then I feel that I’m waking up, and I have the thought: “Uh… wake up to what… what happens next?” But alas.

Interpretation:

The dreamer went through the dream dictionary and saw that what all the symbols of the dream have in common is protection and patronage. She understood that this person is more than fine in that regard, since the clothes are new and fit perfectly. Plus the warm blue jacket — in the dream dictionary, “Blue clothing almost always symbolizes protection, patronage and strength.” The black military uniform couldn’t be interpreted at all. In the dream dictionary: “Any military clothing indicates a desire for or possibility of (if in the dream the clothing is sturdy, intact and clean) protection in conflict situations. Black clothing can be a symbol of protection.”

She has no conflicts with this person and never has. In general, she decided that he has something new going on at work. The position was won, so to speak, in battle, and as a result he now has a stable and reliable position in life.

A few days later she meets this man and in conversation learns that he, unexpectedly for himself, received a rather decent pension (that’s why the protection and patronage).

Plus, they are also supposed to recalculate it for him, and then the payment will increase even more (two ATMs!). On top of all that, he also works (a two-year contract) (this is the blue jacket), receiving a rather good salary. Then she already understood his phrase from the dream: “That is only given to those who have been to war.”

A pension must be earned (military uniform), and it is given under certain conditions. The ATM and the card are a symbol of receiving money.

What the symbols mean:

A black military uniform – social protection, status, earned benefits. A blue jacket – additional protection, patronage. Two ATMs – two sources of income (pension and salary). A card – a means of receiving money.

If you can’t get dressed: what it means in a dream

Dreams in which you can’t find clothes, can’t get dressed, or everything you put on doesn’t suit you are some of the most common dreams. They almost always point to inner insecurity, fear of not meeting expectations, or anxiety before an important event. Such dreams occur when you feel unprepared for something in life.

Clothing in a dream is your image, status, the role you play in life. If you cannot get dressed, it means you are not confident in your role. You are afraid that you will not be accepted, that you will look ridiculous, or that you will not be able to handle the task.

What different scenarios with clothing mean.

You cannot find clothes – toward insecurity, fear.

You are late because you are searching for clothes – toward the fact that insecurity is hindering you in your affairs.

You are scolding someone who hid your things – you are shifting responsibility onto others.

Everything you put on does not suit you – you do not feel that you are in your place.

You are getting dressed, but you are already late – you are managing, but belatedly.

A dream that came true: being late for work and a fine. A participant shared a dream. She is in her apartment, arguing with her mother (they do not live together). She is late for work and cannot find her things. She tries to find something to wear, nothing fits. She scolds her mother for hiding her things. In the end she finds something, gets dressed, but realizes that she is already 30 minutes late.

She thinks about calling her boss to warn him. She looks at the time on her phone – around 8:30 or 8:45. She calculates the fine: every 5 minutes equals 50 rubles. But for some reason she calculated the total as 1500 rubles (when it should have been 300 rubles).

The dream came true almost a month later, on January 10, 2017, on the first workday after the New Year holidays. She was late for work due to commuter train delays. Exactly 15 minutes. The fine at work is 50 rubles for every 5 minutes. They took a fine of 150 rubles. In the dream, 30 minutes is how late she actually was, but the first 15 minutes are not fined. The fine came out to 150 rubles for 15 minutes; this is the sum of 1,500 rubles in the dream. The time 8:30 or 8:45 is the time she usually gets up. Mom in the dream is her emotional part.

What to do if you dream about clothes

If you dream about clothes, pay attention to their condition, color, and what you were doing with them. New, beautiful clothes are a good sign. Torn, dirty clothes are a warning. If you are trying on clothes, don’t miss new opportunities. If you are buying them, changes in business await you. If they are given to you, someone will appreciate you as you deserve.

Write down such dreams. Compare them with reality. After a few months, you will notice patterns.
