Dream Symbol: curtain

curtain

A division or dividing line. For example, curtains in a window divide the inner world and the outer world. A curtain on a stage divides the real world (audience) from the pretend world (stage). A curtain in a hospital room divides one patient's space from the next one.

Privacy, protection, or personal boundaries. For example, a house with no curtains could mean you're feeling emotionally exposed or vulnerable somehow, or as if other people have too much say in your life right now.

Opening your curtains could represent a mental or emotional openness to others or the world.

Closing your curtains could represent:

  • Distancing from others or the world
  • A desire for privacy or solitude
  • A need to maintain your personal boundaries

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
