Clothes Dreams

(see Apron, Closet, Costume, Hat, Jewelry, Mask, Shoes, Tie, Veil)

How do the clothes feel? Are they itchy or uncomfortable? If so, this reveals discomfort with yourself or a situation in which you’ve been placed.

Old or tattered clothing indicates self-neglect or feelings of inferiority.

Changing clothes: A transition in status, jobs, relationships, and the like.

A statement of individuality and how you see yourself (e.g., “clothes make the man”).

Rejecting or throwing away out-of-date clothing: New enterprises, loves, characteristics. Forsaking outmoded ways of thinking and living.

Each color of clothing has different oracular value. Yellow indicates financial progress, blue portends success from tenacious efforts, red reveals a timely deliverance from a difficult situation, green is prosperity and happiness, and mixed hues foretell swift changes.

Each item of clothing also has slightly different meaning, much of which is dependent on your perception. For example, a businessman dreaming about tying his tie again and again might interpret this as too much attention to his appearance at work instead of the work quality. Dreaming of tightening your belt probably relates to financial struggles.

Dirty clothing sometimes represents the soiling of someone’s virtues.

Cross-dressing represents a figurative “trying on” of masculine or feminine attributes that you wish to develop. This can also reveal a greater balance of the Yin-Yang energies within you (see Hermaphrodite, Homosexuality).

Clouds Dreams

(see Ascent, Fog, Rain, Snow)

Storm clouds gathering equate to similarly stormy times, especially on an emotional level.

Dark clouds reveal depression, melancholy, and sadness. Alternatively, dark clouds moving toward you may be some type of warning.

Moods and feelings. Does your cloud have a silver lining?

Obscuration of a situation. Clouds can hide the sun and moon, temporarily removing them from sight. What are your clouds concealing?

Youthful imagination. Remember finding shapes in fluffy white clouds as a child? Try it again and see what meanings those shapes have for you.

In China, an emblem of sexual union and fertility, especially gently pouring rain clouds.

Clover Dreams

(see Flowers)

Much depends here on how many petals the clover has, or what color it is in the dream. Two portends love and good partnerships, three is a protective emblem, four means luck and money, five represents prosperity, white cloves safeguard you from negative magic, and red ones indicate lust and passion.

Clown Dreams

Insincere or immature emotions, specifically false gaiety (see Costumes).

Imprudent beliefs or foolish ideas disguised by amusing wrappings.

Hiding your feelings behind a smiling mask.

A reflection of the quality of your sense of humor especially as perceived by others. How funny is the clown?

Cock (Rooster) Dreams

(see Birds)

Learn all about Spirit, Totem & Power Animals!

As the greeter of dawn, this was an alternative symbol of the sun in many cultures, especially that of Greece and Rome where many central gods were associated with solar imagery. Therefore, a cock crowing at dawn in a dream is a very fortunate sign of new beginnings and renewed hope.

The vigilance and courage necessary to experience a real awakening of mind or spirit.

In Japan, the cock represents a call to prayer. Perhaps this is a message to focus on spiritual matters for a while.

Buddhist: Passion and pride.

Dreaming specifically of a Rooster can symbolize the Chinese Zodiac and The Year of the Rooster.

Cockroach Dreams

(see Insects)

Hiding yourself to survive.

The presence of cockroaches can reveal physical or psychological dirt that needs to be cleaned up.

Cocoon Dreams

Coffee Dreams

(see Beverages)

Perky, energetic attitudes.

The need to be more alert (e.g., “wake up and smell the coffee”). In Arabia, this beverage is revered because it allows people to stay awake during long prayers. It is often served to guests with toasts honoring the name of God.

Something important that’s currently brewing in your life, which must also be watched so that it doesn’t boil over.

Coins Dreams

(see Bank/Banking, Circle, Gold, Silver)

In the Tarot, coins are represented by the Suit of Pentacles and symbolize earthly concerns-e.g., money, jobs, possessions.

An alternative circle symbol due to their shape.

Improved luck or finances. Found pennies, and coins with the date of your birth are tokens of good fortune. Similarly, in Old Europe turning a pocketed coin by the light of a crescent moon or burying a silver coin beneath your doorstep encourages fortuity and prosperity.

A positive change in the weather (literal or figurative). When sailing ships were a predominant mode of transportation, found coins would be tossed on deck or imbedded in the masthead to ensure fair weather and good winds.

Spiritual protection and well-being. Ancient Egyptians placed coins on a mummy’s eyes so that the deceased could pay the ferryman and move safely into the next life.

Each coin may have more than one connotation. For example, pennies are lucky, but in modern society they are also regarded as somewhat worthless. So, a dirty old penny bearing the year of your birth being passed by in your dream could expose poor self-images, for example.

Flipping coins: Choices to make, or the interaction of fate and “chance” in your life.

Cold Dreams

(see Ice, Snow)

Color Dreams

(see by specific hue, Clothes)

Generally, dark or murky colors indicate somber feelings, seriousness, or depression, while lighter, sharper ones are upbeat, positive, and cheerful.

Mixed hues, especially those that swirl without form, reveal confusion, a lack of direction, or mixed feelings.

Improved balance. This substance is sometimes used in polarity healing to bring the energy patterns in the body back into symmetry.

An omen of prosperity soon to come. In Victorian days, copper pennies were placed in kitchens for just such a purpose (see Coins).
