If you dream of wearing patched clothing, it signals that you take your responsibilities seriously and feel no shame in meeting your obligations honestly, without pretense. If you see others in patched garments, difficult times and hardship may be drawing closer to those around you. If you are a young woman who notices a patch on a brand-new dress, expect trouble to surface just when life seems brightest. If you try to hide the patches, you may be concealing an unflattering side of your personality from a romantic partner. If you dream of doing the patching yourself, you will take on duties that hold little appeal for you. If a woman dreams of mending clothing for her household, it speaks to a family rich in affection but stretched thin financially.
