Blanket
To dream of a blanket represents feelings of comfort, security, warmth, and emotional protection. It can represent an attempt to protect oneself from feelings of vulnerability or insecurity, and a need to feel safe and cared for. Not letting something bother you because you can feel good a different way. Habits that allow you to feel better about yourself or more comfortable with a difficult situation. Feeling cosy. Warmth of feeling yourself being cared about. It may also reflect sympathy you or someone else is getting.
Negatively, a blanket may reflect a reluctance to confront or deal with difficult emotions or situations, and a preference for remaining in a state of emotional comfort and safety. Your wish to cover some situation or circumstance in your waking life to feel better about yourself. Feeling sorry for yourself. Personal hurt that needs to be addressed with sympathy. You may be seeking some form of shelter from the outside world or a relationship. Feeling the need for comfort after a breakup.
To dream of a wet blanket represents a situation or person that takes away feelings of comfort, security, and emotional protection with negative emotions. This could be a person who consistently dampens one's mood or enthusiasm, leaving them feeling uncertain, embarrassed, or insecure. The wet blanket could represent negativity or pessimism that prevents one from feeling cozy and warm, or habits that do not allow them to feel better about themselves or comfortable with a difficult situation. A wet blanket may also reflect a lack of sympathy or emotional support that makes feeling comfortable useless.
To dream of a dirty blanket represents a need to cleanse or purify oneself, one's environment, or a particular situation to regain a sense of comfort and emotional safety. A situation or relationship that feels contaminated or polluted, and therefore cannot provide the desired comfort and security.
Example: A young man dreamed of wrapping a blanket around a lizard. In waking life he feared losing his friend and was telling himself that everything would be OK and that it wasn't that serious. In this case the blanket may have reflected the dreamer's attempt to comfort or protect himself from the fear of losing his friend, as he may have been struggling with feelings of insecurity and vulnerability in their relationship.
Example 2: A man dreamed of seeing a dog being covered up with a blanket. In waking life he was forced to comply with a restraining order to not speak to someone. The blanket in this case may have reflected his feelings about the person who sent him the restraining order feeling comfortable or protected by the restraining order, possibly a sign that the dreamer didn't respect the restraining order.
Example 3: A woman dreamed of wrapping herself in a blanket. In waking life she had lost her marriage and was feeling sorry for herself. In this case the blanket may have reflected her desire for comfort and security that she gave to herself during a time of emotional vulnerability and turmoil. The act of wrapping herself in a blanket symbolizes her need for warmth, protection, and emotional support that she feels she has lost due to the end of her marriage.
