Universal Landscape: Hidden talents, abilities, skills, or expressiveness.

Dreaming Lens: What was the style of glove? Were they dress gloves, leather-driving gloves, insulated mittens? Were they clearly men’s or women’s gloves? Was there a sexy element to them? Was there a purpose to wearing the gloves? How did they make you feel? Were you wearing the gloves or was someone else?

Personal Focus: Whatever the purpose of a specific kind of glove, the universal thread is that they cover the hands that wear them. The hands represent expressiveness, skills that require dexterity, and the ability to create. If hands are covered in some way, the symbolic meaning connects to limiting the hand’s ability. This can be deliberate or imposed; helpful or limiting. The type of glove and how they appear in the dream will give you clues for an accurate interpretation.

The primary meaning associated with the hands relates to expressiveness. Because we gesture with our hands, a dream about gloves may connect to the part of communication that is above our words and part of our body language. Gloves represent the various masks we wear in our communication to present that which we want to, while hiding our true skins underneath.

The style and material of the gloves are an important consideration. Sexy, tight-fitting gloves connect to subtle elements of seduction. Work gloves might help you find areas in your life where you feel you have to work hard to conceal your true meaning. Lace gloves evoke delicate communication that is only thinly veiled or hiding the authentic meaning. Boxing gloves point to a fight brewing from a challenge in your life. They might also be inhibiting your communication because of guardedness—hands inside of boxing gloves may be ready to fight, but they can’t be very gentle or expressive. Mittens may connect to a need or desire to be more comfortable, but at the loss of the same expressiveness or effectiveness. Long gloves that extend up one’s arms connect to the extensiveness of the hidden issues or the seduction at hand. Rubber gloves may represent projection of underlying messages that reflect a more serious vulnerability to communication that is toxic.
