Packing and unpacking clothes and raking tickets

Since September I have had a reoccuring theme in sometimes a small part of my dream and other times a large part of my dream.

I dream I am either unpacking, or packing clothes and twice I have raked up tickets.

Once I found an opal bracelet and gave it to a deceased aunt. Another time I am discussing each item. Another time the clothes are on the floor and need a wash.

Normally, in my waking life I am very tidy. During this dream phase, till yesterday, I was not ironing my clothes firstly because I had no ironing board and secondly I felt like breaking out. The freedom and grunge felt a little perculiar but I decided to go with the flow whilst I could.

Now back at work - back to the ironing board.

Don't know if this fits for you, but some general symbology of clothing (from internet)

To dream of your clothes, is symbolic of your public self and how you are perceived. It is indicative of the act you put on in front of others. Clothes is also an indication of your condition and status in life.

To dream that your clothes are soiled and you are trying to clean them, signifies your attempts to change something about your character. You may need to change your old habits and old ways of thinking.

To dream that you are wearing brand new clothes, signifies new attitudes and a new persona. You are finding a different way of expressing yourself. If the price tags are still attached to the clothes, then it suggests that you are trying too hard to adapt to this new attitude. Perhaps it is not who you really are and you are not quite fitting in.

To dream that you are constantly changing your clothes, represents the need for change and your need to fit into a new situation or role. You need to establish a new self-image.

To dream that your clothes fit too tightly, denotes that you feel restricted in some way. You may feel constrained in a relationship or held back at work.

To dream that your clothing is torn or ripped, indicates that there is some flaws in your thinking or thought process. Your logic is not making sense. You need to alter your reasoning and make a stronger argument.

To dream that you are shopping for or buying clothes, represents your anxieties about trying to fit in or being "well-suited" for your changing role.

To dream that all your clothes in the closet are white, suggests that you need to lighten up. You may have recently been feeling a little on the depressed side. Perhaps you were going through some crisis. It is time to move on. You need to change your attitude and get a grip of your inner emotions.


To see a ticket in your dream, signifies the start of a new endeavor. You have decided on your path and goals in life. Consider also the type of ticket. A bus or train ticket symbolizes the price you pay to get ahead in life, while a movie ticket represents your need to be more objective.

To dream that you lose a ticket, denotes confusion and ambiguity in the direction of your life.

Thank you S.S been very helpful

I have had a lot of changes and I see now I have been having chats with past people. These clothes have been important in the dream, mostly clean but one batch was dirty and on the floor.

I did not particularly like the aunty in r/l who I gave the opal bracelet too. I never developed an attachment to her- she had rivalry with my Mother over her children being of much better quality.

Some dreams have been old clothes - old favorites I had forgotten in r/l and then new ones. That works because I was giving up my old self and old habits.

The clothes in the suitcase were packed well. In r/l I have moved home and am living temporary residence but I felt the dream was too repetative to be a reinactment of r/l-although that could be an influence. Maybe I am wishing to organise my life again and keep things/myself clean and tidy.

The tickets were old and that was probably raking up the anxiety with all the sharp change in my life. I only remember the tickets were white. My second-last job had dockets which are white and my new job has dockets which are white. I may have been raking up the burdens of the last job - trying to clean up the harassment and damage that did to me. Maybe also worrying the new job might have the same sort of culture - but it does not.

Once again thank you.[/SIZE]
