Curtain in a dream
A curtain in a dream is read in folk tradition as the line between what you show the world and what you keep to yourself.
In folk belief, a curtain in a dream speaks of privacy and of things that are not yet ready to come to light. A drawn curtain is read as a need for peace and a rest from other people's eyes, an open one as readiness to let someone closer. Old dream books look at the fabric too: a light, airy one promises bright days at home. Whatever you saw, the dream only reminds you that you choose what to show and to whom.
The most common dreams
Dreaming that you are drawing the curtains
By tradition, drawing the curtains means you need a little quiet and some time just for yourself. It is believed that after a short break you will return to people more rested.
Dreaming that you are opening the curtains
When you let light into the room in a dream, old folk say some doubt is about to be cleared up. What seemed blurry to you may soon become perfectly clear.
Dreaming of new white curtains
White curtains are read as order in the house and guests who come with goodwill. People also link them to a fresh start at home, even if it is only a rearranged room.
Dreaming of a torn curtain
A torn curtain bodes nothing bad: it is believed that some small secret will come out and that you will feel relieved. What gets mended serves nicely again.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
