Dreaming of handkerchiefs speaks to romantic flirtations and relationships that carry an undercurrent of uncertainty. Losing one suggests a broken engagement — and the fault won't lie with you. Seeing torn handkerchiefs warns that a romantic conflict may escalate to the point where reconciliation becomes unlikely. Soiled handkerchiefs caution that careless associations could leave a mark on your character. A vision of many clean, bright white handkerchiefs suggests you will hold firm against persistent and dishonest flattery, and find yourself welcomed into meaningful, respectable relationships as a result. Colored handkerchiefs hint that while your romantic choices may raise eyebrows, you will handle them with enough finesse to avoid outright scandal. Silk handkerchiefs reflect a warm and magnetic personality that lifts the spirits of those around you and draws good fortune in return. For a young woman to wave a handkerchief — or to see others doing so — suggests a pleasure-focused journey ahead, one that may test the edges of what others consider respectable.
