Dream symbol · B
Buying clothes
An attempt to change image, searching for a new role or social mask.
Dream interpretation
Buying clothes symbolizes how we want others to see us. This is a process of building a social 'persona'. If you buy bright clothes, you long for attention and expression. If you buy modest clothes, you seek protection and anonymity. The act of choosing in a store shows you are in a period of trying on new identities-perhaps changing your profession or the way you communicate with your partner. The dream encourages you to choose what truly corresponds to your inner self.
