Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
This piece of outerwear is designed to protect from the cold. Any article of clothing relates to a mode of personal self-expression.

The type of jacket in the dream also has shades of meaning.

A dress blazer relates to prosperity and responsibility, whereas a parka connects to protection against life’s harsher elements. Once you figure out the meaning associated with the type of jacket in the dream, you must add the context of the dream itself to your meaning.

A jacket that is ripped or in disrepair indicates feeling vulnerable and unprotected. One that doesn’t fit means you aren’t quite aligned with your intentions.

A lost jacket is to be temporarily removed from the needs the jacket represents.

Dreamers Dictionary

Vision: Getting into the wrong sleeve of a jacket: you are baffled about something or have been given wrong information.

Depth Psychology: The jacket indicates the kind of affection you can give and receive.

The state of the jacket is a metaphor for your feelings.

See Shirt, Pants, Clothes.

A jacket that is old, worn-out, or has holes means you have been emotionally harmed, but it also suggests that you are finally letting go of old, negative responses (throw the jacket away)!

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
This garment, symbol of the subject’s personality, leads to multiple interpretations.

If it is new it announces intellectual creativity; if torn, the loss of a good friend; someone else’s jacket, the call for help to a friend in order to solve a problem. Wearing a military jacket denounces the tendency of the dreamer to be authoritarian and even intransigent; and if it is a physician’s jacket, the need to rely more on yourself. Finally, losing them announces economic losses: business were left to chance.
