What does it mean to dream of buying a womens black dress?

Answer 1

This could be a random dream image without any particular significance. But if it feels important for some reason, it might refer to the possibility of compromise: rather than making a choice between two extremes (black and white) you could find a way to combine both options into something creative and unexpected.

Answer 2

In previous centuries, a black dress might have been associated with death and funerals. However, through the 20th Century, "the little black dress" has represented an essential item of the basic, practical wardrobe, a garment that could be worn for any occasion, with a variety of more or less formal accessories. So this dream might be saying, "be ready for anything." The emotional tone of the dream - happy or sad, excited or mournful - is more revealing than the color of the dress.

Answer 3

The meaning of this dream depends on your culture and on your own family's traditions. In Western Culture, black dresses once suggested funerals and the dark clothing worn during the period of formal mourning. However, this tradition is no longer practiced in many nations and in most parts of the U.S.A. Professional women in New York City tend to wear black most of the time, so the dream would take on a different tone in that city than, for example, in Georgia or Alabama. Moreover, in some Asian and African cultures, black is worn to celebrate weddings and other joyful occasions, while white represents death and sorrow.

> Consider the emotions felt while your dream was taking place, and other elements in the dream in addition to the black dress.
