Tight Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation from 3 unique sources about Tight

Dreams of tightly fitting clothing signifies constriction, and a lack of freedom and mobility.

If you are feeling tight inside, then you may be venting out your fear of expressing yourself. Perhaps this dream is showing you where you share a close bond with someone where perhaps there has become too much dependency or co-dependency.

If this is the case, this dream may be giving you the message to allow yourself some space.

If this dream is about being drunk, then see Drunk.
