Buttons Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 12 unique sources about Buttons

Most often the button in your dream is a button on a piece of clothing, rather than a button that you push. Button or buttons on clothing represent something from your physical, or outer, self . Note if you were buttoning or unbuttoning, and, from there, attempt to obtain meaning. Unbuttoning generally represents an opening up of your emotions or ideas. You may be leaving yourself open to new possibilities as you are letting go of old thoughts and ways of doing things. Alternatively and on a positive side, buttoning up may reflect a need to conserve and to pull inward, to “button” your lip or to restrain yourself in some way.

The more negative interpretation of buttoning up may be that you are currently feeling bound, restricted, or lacking some type of freedom. [1]

Finding a button is an omen of good luck in business or in love.

Losing one foretells extreme embarrassment or other vexatious, though not necessarily serious happening, in connection with an affair you may have.

Sewing on buttons—particularly if the garment is an item of underwear—points to happiness, honor and wealth.

Using, for buttoning up, is an indication of the successful termination of your highest ambition. Unbuttoning foretells that you will shortly begin an important enterprise that may hamper or postpone a projected marriage. [2]

To dream of sewing bright shining buttons on a uniform, betokens to a young woman the warm affection of a fine looking and wealthy partner in marriage.

To a youth, it signifies admittance to military honors and a bright career. Dull, or cloth buttons, denotes disappointments and systematic losses and ill health.

The loss of a button, and the consequent anxiety as to losing a garment, denotes prospective losses in trade. [3]

If you dream of losing a button, there will be anxiety over the loss of money or property. Sewing buttons on clothes, a good chance of making money or an advancement. Finding a brass button, invitation to a social gathering; a wooden button, success after much work; a pearl button, travel; silver button, romance; colored button, unexpected pleasure; cloth-covered button, take care of your health. [4]
Buttons as fasteners (as opposed to campaign buttons) are closely related to the symbolism of clothing. Clothing frequently represents the outer self or persona. Thus, tight buttons (tight clothing) may indicate the feeling of being bound by our social roles, and the act of unbuttoning the opening of the self to others (or, in some instances, sexual opening). [5]
If you dream you are missing buttons on clothing it means that you tend to neglect personal issues and friendships. On the other hand, if in a dream you are dedicated to sewing them, it denotes efforts to overcome your mistakes. [6]
If the buttons were bright and/or broken, you must take steps to break away from a worrying emotional situation.

If the dream involved losing a button, it indicates a need to curb extravagance to avoid financial embarrassment [7]

To dream of bright buttons is always good; if rusty, it portends to misfortune; if covered, sadness; if a man dreams he has lost all the buttons off his clothes, it is a sign he will not live long. [8]
