Coat / Cloak / Jacket / Suit Dream Meaning

If a coat features in your dream, this probably suggests the self you present in public; for example, you may be outspoken in public but your partner will know that, deep down, you are shy. An overcoat suggests protectiveness and not showing intimacy or vulnerability; what in waking life are you trying to ward off? Fear of losing your coat can suggest fear of letting your guard down.

If the coat is too short or not warm enough, you may be craving more love and affection than you are getting in waking life. According to Freud, the cloak is a symbol of female sexuality, but may also represent secrecy and concealment.

If a jacket features in your dream, this suggests the degree of formality with which you present yourself to others. A raincoat may suggest tears or the release of emotion.

If you are wearing a suit in your dream, this suggests the image you or other people have of you; the way you present yourself to others and different kinds of suits—wetsuits, bathing suit—represent different attitudes and situations. [1]
