Bed sheets
Sheets, Bedsheets, Bed linen
Nothing in your home stays closer to you at night than your sheets, which makes them a very personal dream image. Crisp, clean sheets are one of life's small luxuries, and dreaming of them often goes with self-respect, a fresh start or a wish to treat yourself better. Stained or rumpled sheets can show worry that something private, perhaps an old mistake or a relationship matter, might be seen by others. Changing the sheets after a guest, or after a breakup, is about clearing out what someone else left behind. Silk or satin sheets add romance and a touch of indulgence.

- Someone else's sheets on your bedAnother person's habits or history are part of your private life now. Decide what to keep and what to replace.
