Coat

Dreams which feature coats have various interpretations. For example, taking off the coat symbolizes the need to get rid of superfluous matters, to be sincere, and to eliminate behavioral norms that limit you. Putting on a coat, on the other hand, means you are straying from the essential, from your authentic Self (the coat, in that case, would play the same role of a costume). Given this last assumption, it is important to note that if wearing the coat produces a positive feeling, it implies self-confidence and the ability to successfully face any obstacle. Lastly, wearing someone else’s coat can warn you against your excessive dependence on its owner (in a lot of cases, your mother).
