Suit

This often has something to do with a level of formality or to express something through the colour or style of the suit. So it is important to define whether it is a business suit, a stage outfit, a wedding outfit, a wet suit, or a jump suit, and what colour it is. For instance there can be bunny suits, bathing suit, pyjama suit, an expensive or ragged suit. Each of which more or less tell their own story, the general meaning of which applies to how you are presenting yourself, seeing yourself, or your opinion of someone else. In other words the suit depicts your feelings of confidence or  lack of it, and what stance you are taking in life at the time. Therefore the different suits can refer to the different roles one takes in life, and maybe also the different skills or attitudes they require or express through. See: Clothes.

Many dreams emphasise the colour of the suit, and this is important, so consider what you feel about the colour, or look it up under colours. Also the suit or suited person can depict authority, such as a doctor or lawyer, orderliness or a businesslike way of living or doing things. It can also suggest conformity.

A waterproof suit is showing how you are seeking or need protection against the attitudes or feelings you are confronting. Is there stormy weather about in a relationship or work?

In terms of wordplay it can be a way of saying a situation or relationship does, or does not, suit you.

Army, Air Force, Navy suit: This may connect with memories you have, either of being  in one of these services, or of someone you know in the uniform. If not, then it suggests the qualities or stereotype ideas and feelings connected with them.

Bathing suit: See: swimsuit below.

Business suit: Attitudes to do with work or being practical and outgoing and often in a woman’s dream feelings of being sophisticated. Sometimes this suggests authority or power, go-getting and taskmaster. A dreamer exploring the figure of a business suited woman, said of her, “ She’s super-aggressive, independent, self-confident, and has lots of status and power. I could use some of that but don’t have much.”

So the business suit often refers to feelings of success, or doing well in life.

Example: I interviewed for a job as a secretary for this college professor who has a terrible reputation as a womanizer who “feeds” on the young college girls. I am a sophisticated, together woman in white high heels and a business suit. I am also beautiful and tailored. BS

Jump suit: Easy and ready for anything attitude.

Nurse: Feelings about a helping, healing or supportive role.

Police: Attitudes to do with living by the rules and being an authority figure.

swimsuit or bikini: Depending on the feelings in the dream it could mean you feel revealed to others in a way that might not be what you would want to appear, or that you are relaxed and open about who you are and feel you are an attractive person. Sometimes this links with how attractive or otherwise you are with a partner.
