Handkerchief

If you use it to dry your tears, the handkerchief plays a role of comfort; maybe your unconscious is claiming the need for someone to comfort you and be a “shoulder to cry on.”

Seeing a handkerchief indicates, in general, the desire to live in a relationship, although this interpretation may be qualified.

If the handkerchief is red, the love affair will be shocking and cause all kinds of gossip; but if it is white, it will be honest and will end in marriage. To lose it announces the couple will break up; and to tear it, a serious argument.

If the handkerchief is silk, you will enjoy the company of friends at any time; and if it is cotton, family bliss will be certain. When it is a young woman who dreams of a handkerchief, she runs the risk of being deceived by a man who tries to conquer her.

A soiled or blood-stained handkerchief indicates a quarrel; a cotton one is a suggestion that you could benefit from asserting yourself more; a linen one is a warning of hidden hostility; a silk one is a good omen in regard to your general interests; a torn handkerchief signifies a business embarrassment; a lost one indicates a broken relationship; buying one is a caution against new ventures or gambling; and receiving one predicts a happy surprise.

Blowing your nose in a handkerchief portends an improvement in social status; wiping your face or forehead with it augurs a lightening of responsibilities; waving it prophesies an interesting new friendship; and washing it is a warning against extravagance.

If you are a woman and you dream of dropping a handkerchief, then you are an old fashioned girl that is interested in attention from a particular man.

If you are a man having this dream, then there is someone in your life that wants you to notice them.

If you dream that someone offers you a handkerchief, then you are cared for and are receiving the emotional support you need.

If the handkerchief is dirty, then you are in the process of cleaning and releasing your emotions.

If the handkerchief is clean, then you are either complete with your emotional expression, or you are resisting the process. Consider the feeling tone of this dream to discern its significance.
