Seeing baby clothes in your dream signifies you’re in a good place to start something new. Baby clothes can symbolize a redundant outlook or habits which you no longer put any time into. They can also suggest the way you are expressing yourself is more subtle than it’s been in the past.

Bandana

A bandana appearing in your dreams indicates that your perception of everything has been clouded lately. You need to be more objective. Take some time out to gain some perspective. 

Bathing Suit

Dreaming of wearing a bathing suit suggests you’re feeling vulnerable in some way. If you felt comfortable in this dream, you’re nevertheless in a good place, and you’re finding it easy to relax despite an undercurrent of nervousness. If you felt uncomfortable, you have some issues with self-confidence and this will hold you back in the future, unless you confront it. If you dream of wearing a bathing suit while everyone else is in formal wear, you feel out of place with the people around you. You act inappropriately in situations which need to be handled with care and compassion.

Dreaming of wearing a blouse indicates you’re finding a new outlet for your emotions, one which will enable you to process them healthily. The color of the blouse and the feet can also suggest your emotional state.

Bodice

A bodice in your dream indicates repressed emotions. You’re not being honest with yourself, either for wanting to ignore a problem entirely, or you prefer to push emotions down rather than deal with them. This won’t help in the long run. Alternatively, you have a love of historical dress.

Clothing

Dreaming of your clothes directly relates to how people see you, and the behavior you engage in, in order to shape their opinions. Clothes are also a reflection of your current state of mind. If you dream of wearing clothes you wouldn’t “dream” of wearing in everyday life, this suggests you’re putting on a false act, and you’re not being true to yourself when you’re around other people. Alternatively, something in your life doesn’t fit you – an old habit or a hobby you’ve outgrown. Or, this dream can indicate you’re finally revealing your true self to those around you.

Dreaming of trying to clean dirty clothes reflects a transformative journey you’re currently on. You’ve recognized the need to let go of the things that no longer add value to your life. That’s the hard part over. 

Dreaming of wearing brand-new clothes (see also Buying Clothes In Your Dream) mirrors the way you’ve adopted a fresh outlook which will serve you in the near future. If you dream of the price tags still being attached, you’re trying too hard to change too fast. Forcing it will result in a burnout, and you’ll only feel worse than when you set out. Remember the reasons you began this journey, and go where life takes you, at the pace it takes you.

If you dream of wearing your clothes inside out, this reflects the way you choose to go against other people’s ideas in waking life. They are wrong, or you just like going against the grain. If you dream of turning your clothes inside out, you feel the need to protect yourself or conceal part of you from judgmental people. 

Dreaming of wearing different clothes while everyone else wears the same outfit suggests you feel alienated from other people or part of yourself. You feel disconnected.

Dress

Dreaming of wearing a dress points to your qualities that were traditionally regarded as “feminine”, such as empathy, thoughtfulness and vulnerability. You’re in touch with these qualities, and you’re putting them to good use in your life. 

Wearing a white dress in your dream indicates a need to appear innocent. Have you been accused of something, or do you know something you shouldn’t?  A purple dress in your dream indicates committing to your partner or, if you’re single, a new relationship in the future. 

Evening Gown

Dreaming of wearing an evening gown indicates your current search for happiness. It also represents social pleasures and enjoyment. If you’re building an image of a problem-free life, this can manifest as your evening gown dream. The design of the gown can also be significant.

On a more negative note, wearing fur in your dream when you wouldn’t consider it in real life indicates someone isn’t who you thought, and they’ve recently proved that. You are not proud of something you’ve done. Wearing fur in your dream can be a sign you’re putting on a front, and the image you’d like people to see doesn’t resemble you at all.

Glass Slippers

You’re going through a creative block, or you’re confining it to an existing idea, and you’re limiting the potential you have.

Viking Hat

Dreaming of a Viking hat indicates you want to get away from other people’s opinions of you. They’re stifling, and not how you see yourself. You want to stand apart.

Wedding Dress

A wedding dress appearing in your dream symbolizes how you’re questioning your current relationship, and you want to know if it will last long into the future. If you’re single, and you dream of a wedding dress, you’re wondering what a new partner would be like.

If you or someone else in your dream is wearing a wedding dress outside of a wedding, you are feeling unworthy of something. You don’t feel you match.

Dreaming of searching for a wedding dress on the day of a wedding reflects panic. A situation has thrown you. Or, you’re struggling to find your feet in a situation, and you feel the odd one out. 

Wetsuit

Dreaming of a wetsuit indicates you’re exploring your subconscious in a manner which won’t end up hurting you. You won’t find anything nasty. You’re in a good place to accept parts of yourself or your feelings which you were previously ashamed of.

Wig

Dreaming of wearing a wig suggests you’re blowing a situation out of proportion. It’s less of a deal than you’re making it out to be. Wigs in dreams are quite negative signs, unless you wear one in everyday life. Dreaming of a wig can suggest you want to claim other’s ideas for your own, or you feel incompetent and need to deceive in order to compensate. 

Dreaming of losing a wig suggests you’ve completely lost perspective, and you’re out of touch with reality.

Wingsuit

A wingsuit in your dream represents how you’re aiming high in your goals, yet you feel free and untroubled by problems. You’re seeing where life takes you, and if that’s on a different path, so be it.

Wooden Shoe

A wooden shoe appearing in your dream suggests there will be a period of unfaithfulness in your life soon, and it will lead to a bout of loneliness. You will experience a betrayal by someone you love, or you will go against your better nature.
