Shopping Dream Meaning

Shopping or purchasing goods symbolizes our desires and needs.

We all experience shopping daily. In the dream world shopping can appear often. Maybe you could see a shop or you were shopping for clothes or food. The type of shopping that was carried out in the dream can be connected to love, sexual fulfillment, prosperity, or a job according to dream lore. I would say, try to pay attention to which kind of shop is in your dream. A clothing retailer indicates a new phase of life, whereas gifts are usually symbolic of skill and possibilities. A toy or sports retailer could indicate that you want to be more laid back and young at heart. Shopping at a mall in a dream can denote material wealth. I have defined many dreams here on shopping so just scroll down to find yours.

What does it mean to dream of shopping for clothes?

Maybe you don’t consider yourself as being fashionable or maybe you do! The shopping dream of clothes comes to us all. Whether it is buying sweaters or that new dress or even an infinity of scarfs. There is something emotionally attached to clothes as this dream indicates you are focused on your own identity. If you are actively trying to shop for clothing this can indicate you are going to gravitate towards a new focus in life. The clothes themselves are associated with a new identity and more often than not something you are going to achieve something that stands in your way. To see yourself in a dressing room in the dream indicates that you may need to look at yourself in terms of your goal setting. If there are many mirrors inside the dressing room this means that you will feel more refreshed going forward. To buy a new dress in a dream can signify a commitment to something that you have forgotten. We all have clothes in the back of our wardrobe that we rarely wear.

In fact, there are clothes I’ve bought still have a label on! To dream of buying clothes but not wearing them signifies you need to be brutally honest with yourself. To dream of clothes represents your self-image and self-esteem. According to old dream lore dreaming of shopping, clothes represents your emotional state. You’re probably nervous or anxious about a certain event coming soon. You feel like you have to pretend to be something you’re not in order to be liked by people. To buy clothes in your dream also symbolize your need to keep your private life to yourself or ‘cover up’ your secrets and mistakes. You’re exposed and need to take some privacy measures. Your dream also reveals a comfortable lifestyle and harmony. You will find someone that fits your standards. To dream of buying clothes from someone else, or second-hand clothes in a dream predicts business deals that will come out profitable and new opportunities on your way. Think well before you make any risky move. And remember not to spend more than you earn.

What does it mean to dream of shopping for food?

To dream of food shopping is rather common. Why? Because we all have to eat every day and shopping for groceries is necessary to survive each day. To dream of buying food from the grocery store or a supermarket represents your emotional and physical need to feel alive – to move towards your goals. In old dream lore this dream represents a warning sign. I believe this is a chance to pay extra attention to your well-being and change your lifestyle in order to gain your energy back, especially if you have been feeling tired lately. To dream of shopping for food also signifies the easy choices and smart decisions you have been making. To dream of paying for food in a dream implies that you are feeling comfortable with what you’ve accomplished so far. Yet, you will come across some problems that can’t be solved with solutions. This dream urges one to use your creativity to come up with new solutions, and prove to others you’re able to handle yourself in the most unexpected complicated situations.

As I have previously mentioned, groceries are part of our everyday life. To dream of food shopping isn’t something unusual. In fact, it’s one of the most common dreams.

However, to dream of shopping for groceries with someone else means you want to establish a profound connection with that particular person. It can mean your relationship is heading in the right direction. Your future with your partner (even if you have not met him or her yet) remains bright. You will keep it that way only if you remain honest about your feelings and future plans. To pack shopping into bags during the dream indicates that you are feeling happiness at the moment.

And things you want but don’t have. Try to focus on what you already have and make most out of it. Your dream reveals the materialistic side of your personality. To see a large shopping mall implies you are a good person and you are kind so good news!
