Dreaming of wearing an oversized coat - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reflect a wish to see whether you’re ready for a responsibility or new position you haven’t grown used to yet.
The coat is bigger than your body, covering your hands with its sleeves and slipping off your shoulders. It keeps you warm, but you feel awkward looking in the mirror and keep pulling it closed.
Korean lore: Traditionally, wearing clothes too large for your body has sometimes been interpreted as taking on a position or responsibility that still feels unfamiliar. It is also sometimes seen as moving into a period of receiving ample protection. (In folk dream interpretations, the size of clothing has traditionally been read in connection with the weight of one’s position and the scale of one’s social role.)
Through the mind: You may be testing yourself before a change in the scale of your life, such as a promotion, changing jobs, or living independently. It may also be a scene where the wish to do well appears alongside the unfamiliar feeling that this still does not feel like your own clothes.
