Why do you dream about buying clothes and shoes?

A dream in which you happened to make new things can have completely unexpected interpretations. If the store had a large selection of goods in light colors made of expensive fabrics, then such a dream foreshadows dramatic changes for the better, advancement up the career ladder, resolution of financial issues, and receipt of good news. If the store was empty, or all the clothes were old, torn, wrinkled, or the person could not find the right size, then soon the dreamer will face a quarrel with friends or a loved one, a deterioration in material well-being, or problems at work.

A dream in which a person opened a closet and saw a lot of outfits in it, but they weren’t there before, is a warning. This means that your life has very complicated relationships with people and a lot of intrigue is woven around you. Another interpretation of such a plot of night dreams is that in real life communication with people will not be the best, and difficulties will arise with mutual understanding. Some dream books suggest that a closet with clothes foreshadows the emergence of a situation due to which a person will have to take extreme measures.

Shopping place

The place where the dreamer bought clothes can radically change the meaning of the entire dream.

Shopping center - to unexpected profits.

A large store means making an important choice in life that will change the life of not only the dreamer, but also her loved one.
Children's store - you should reconsider your priorities and outlook on life. Seeing yourself in a position in the children's clothing department means making a fateful decision or the onset of a long-awaited pregnancy.
An elite boutique - going to a store of expensive clothes that you obviously cannot afford speaks of a person’s habit of living beyond their means and of the dreamer’s inflated ambitions.
A small shop means big losses.
Second-hand - to develop confidence in your attractiveness.

Trying on wardrobe items

The interpretation of the dream depends on what exactly the sleeping person was trying on. This can significantly affect the interpretation of the dream.

If you happen to try on underwear, then this is a warning sign that you should not tell absolutely all the details of your biography, especially of an intimate nature.

Seeing yourself in a wedding dress means that the dreamer is expecting an arranged marriage.

Trying on smart things means prosperity and good news, a business suit means getting a new position. However, this will require great effort.

If you dream that your clothes were dirty, then the dreamer should avoid thieves and scammers. Trying on the most expensive toilets promises a big family quarrel.
