A coat signifies the shielding of the self and the standing of a person. This symbol defines how a name is held against the world. The dream does not speak of a loss of status, but rather of the quality of the covering.
The dream concerns the manner of the wrapping. A coat preserves the character or reveals it to the eyes of others. The garment holds the person within a private space. A coat establishes a firm boundary for the person.
Colors shift the weight of the protection offered by the dream. A white coat marks the reputation with purity. A black coat lends a heavy stillness to the shielding. The presence of a red coat makes the outward appearance bold.
The loss or acquisition of losing a coat or buying a new coat concerns the stability of a person’s position. An absence of the garment suggests an exposure of the private self to public view. The purchase of a fresh covering signifies a renewal of honor.
The act of wearing a coat determines the degree of readiness for what is encountered. A black coat worn by the person increases the sense of formal distance. The dream rests on the state of being covered.
For its more general meaning: Dream about clothes
It was raining & dark. I was trying to get home. I got off a crowded bus and decided to walk. I was wearing a red coat with a hood. A flock of pigeons pooped on the arm of my coat three times, it was white. I walked through a few dark tunnels and got my feet wet in puddles. I kept getting on busses but they were the wrong ones so each time I had to get off and walk in the rain. My red coat kept me dry but my feet were wet.
Dear Reader,
Your dream signifies gains, exercise and nurturing. This dream means you are achieving certain gains at the expense of someone else’s livelihood. Exercise will be good for you, but also a change of habits or a visit to a specialist. You need to nurture your relationships with your family/friends and develop new ties.
