Carpet in a dream
According to old dream books, a carpet in a dream stands for the comfort of home, warmth underfoot and respect awaiting you.
In the folk reading, a carpet is a sign of homely warmth and firm ground under your feet. Whoever dreams of a fine, colorful carpet is believed to be entering calmer days in which home will be a true shelter. If the carpet was worn thin, the dream is read as a reminder to freshen up a habit or a relationship you have been taking for granted. Recall the feeling too: if walking barefoot felt pleasant, the message is that you are in a good place.
The most common dreams
Dreaming that you are laying out a carpet
By folk belief, laying out a carpet means you are preparing the ground for something nice: guests, an agreement or a new habit. Effort put into your home, they say, always comes back.
Dreaming that you are shaking out a carpet
Shaking out the dust is read as unloading old worries and petty grudges. People say that after such a dream it is easier to breathe and easier to forgive.
Dreaming of a red carpet
Old dream books read a red carpet as recognition and attention you have earned. Someone may well praise your work just when you least expect it.
Dreaming of a flying carpet
A ride on a carpet, as in a fairy tale, is a sign of imagination and a wish to travel. It is believed a bright idea will carry you off and show you things from a new angle.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
