What are possible meanings for dreams of dressing?

In simplest terms, getting dressed is preparation. You get dressed in preparation for whatever comes next: a date, work, or going out with friends, for example. Which in turn can connect with love life, work life, or social life. Preparation is a physical representation of how you present yourself and the persona you project. Persona is the identity worn over the inner you.

Mood and attitude are like layers of clothing, additions to the image you project. For example, getting dressed in a tuxedo jacket can symbolize a mood of extravagance.

Another simple way of describing getting dressed is that you cover yourself with something protective. In a personal sense, you protect yourself from prying questions about your feelings by always wearing a smile. Everything’s awesome! Or you protect yourself from risk by always having extra funds in the bank, symbolized as carrying a big purse.

Next step is to connect the symbolism of getting dressed with the type of clothing worn. See: Clothing

Dressing someone in a dream can mean you’re in charge of that person, the same as when a parent dresses a child. It can mean you’re influencing that person’s behavior or public image.

If you are slow to get dressed, it can mean you are having difficulty making a decision, especially in relation to what you want to do with your life.

Hey Everyone! Any Islamic dream interpreters in here?

My friend’s mom had a dream about the girl he liked. She came to their house wearing hijab on her head, but she was wearing a short dress. His mom also saw her brother with the girl even though she didn’t know the girl had a brother. What could this mean?
Any clues or any helpful guidance would be more than appreciated. Thank you!

Can anyone help me with the meaning of my dream ? I would be really grateful

So I'll just get right into it, I dreamed that I was younger but like 7-8 years younger than I am now ( that would be 8-10 years old) anyways I went back into my room and In that room in real life my grandmother was staying with us, but my father and my grandmother got into an argument and we cant talk to her anymore. Anyways in my dream I went in that room knowing that she cant be there anymore and sad about that and went to the shelf in my warderobe that was hers and I found her things, that was her jewelry mostly necklaces, her dresses and clothes,one more thing that I cant remember and something that terrified me /it was in a box/. I can't remember what I saw in that box but I know it terrified me ,I dont think I even saw what that was even in dream I just saw black /i think/ and In dream I knew what it was but I dont know now. So in dream I would stay next to that shelf all the time and I would be there and tried to hide what I saw in that box the best I can. And I remember saying to myself all the time "I wish I can forget what I saw , I wish I can forget what I saw in there"
At one point my father and aunt noticed that I dont play w my sister /remember I was around 10 years old/ so they came to see whats wrong and we talked a little ,I never told them anything about that and avoided topic and thats when I woke up. Honestly usually I'd never think too much bout dream like this but I have a feeling it's important for some reason hahahah so I hope that anyone can help me, thank you in advance.

Have you ever had a dream you though could be from a past life?

I was rushing down a cobblestone street with someone I knew very well, possibly my sister. It must have been the early 1800s by how we were dressed and we were in a middle class area of England. I’ve done some research and the buildings, road and my clothing all matched the early 1800s. We were extremely happy because we were bringing home a roast or ham for Sunday dinner. We stopped at an outdoor vendor who was selling herbs and carrots which we needed as well but his supply of food was scarce. In my mind I knew we were so lucky to buy whatever we could from him because the war was either happening or had just finished (maybe the war of 1812 but I don’t know). We lived in a small two story townhome with a bunch of other people, mostly family. We also invited two people over for the Sunday dinner - one of the men was around my age and I really fancied him though to my disappointment he never looked my way as we sat around the wood dining table. That’s all I remember but it was crazy vivid when I woke up, I’ve never experienced a dream like that before.

I have to get this off my chest

I had a dream last night about a soldier’s funeral. It was very sad and I remember looking for a name on anything so I knew who it was that I was mourning. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a name, but it was a young man in the casket. He was Hispanic and was surrounded by blue flowers, wearing a dark green suit. There was also a woman in a blue dress kneeling and sobbing. I’m not sure if she was his mother, sister, wife, girlfriend??? But she was clearly distraught.
I woke up in tears and I just had to write it all down and put it out there.
