Coat

Coats, Overcoat, Raincoat, Fur coat

A coat is the layer you put between yourself and the cold, so in dreams it stands for protection and the image you present to others. A warm, well-fitting coat says you feel prepared and secure. A thin or torn one may come up when you feel exposed or underdressed for a situation. Wearing someone else's coat can mean you're borrowing their way of handling things, or carrying their responsibilities. Taking a coat off often marks a moment when you can relax and let people see the real you.
