Complete Dictionary of Dreams

by Dr. Mıchael Lennox
You are dreaming of the desire to make changes to some aspect of your life by covering over the past and starting fresh.

If the paint in your dream was more artistic in nature, the impulse being expressed may connect to your desire to be creative. Paint itself is the stuff with which this form of alteration is executed. Symbolically, it should be considered as the raw material of change of an expressive nature.

The control you are able to exert over this elusive liquid medium will illuminate for you how effectively you may be utilizing your current creative resources.

The more control you are able to access, the more effective your expressiveness is likely to be and the more effectively you will be able to manifest your desired intention.
