Korean lore: Traditionally, having your clothes taken or seeing someone else wear your belongings has sometimes been interpreted as a sign that your place or role is being shaken. It may also be seen as a dream of change, in which you accept a new role. (In folk dream interpretation, clothing is seen as something that reveals status and role, and changes or exchanges of clothes have been connected to changes in one’s social position.)
Through the mind: You may be feeling pressure at work or in a relationship that someone will replace you, or that your strengths seem to belong to someone else. If comparison has intensified lately, you might reflect on what unique part of yourself you want to protect.
